Two hundred years ago a loyalist family fled to England to escape the
American War of Independence and seemingly vanished into thin air.
American genealogist Jefferson Tayte is hired to find out what happened,
but it soon becomes apparent that a calculated killer is out to stop
him.
In the Blood combines a centuries-old mystery with a present-day
thriller that brings two people from opposite sides of the Atlantic
together to uncover a series of carefully hidden crimes. Tayte's
research centres around the tragic life of a young Cornish girl, a
writing box, and the discovery of a dark secret that he believes will
lead him to the family he is looking for. Trouble is, someone else is
looking for the same answers and will stop at nothing to find them.
In the Blood is the first book in the Jefferson Tayte mystery series.
Revised edition: This edition of In The Blood includes editorial
