Lady Kiera Darby and Sebastian Gage investigate a macabre murderer in
this historical mystery from the author of Mortal Arts.
*
Scotland, 1830.* Following the death of her dear friend, Lady Kiera
Darby is in need of a safe haven. Returning to her childhood home, Kiera
hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the merriment of the Hogmanay Ball
will distract her. But when a caretaker is murdered and a grave is
disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera is once more thrust into the
cold grasp of death.
While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further
tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the
difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means Kiera
must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by inquiry agent
Sebastian Gage.
When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was not the
first--some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them for ransom.
Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave robber and put the case to
rest...before another victim winds up six feet under.
