Publisher's Synopsis
Tobias and Lavinia escape to Beaumont castle for a romantic retreat. But the lovers's plans are foiled when their weekend is disrupted by the appearance of a woman from Tobias's past. Aspasia Gray's long-deceased fiancé was a friend of his - in addition to being an eccentric assassin. Aspasia is seeking protection after receiving an ominous message that eerily recalls the past. Suddenly the obstacles standing between Tobias and Lavinia appear greater than just a little London gossip. When events at the castle suggest someone is imitating the dead killer's methods, the team of Lake and March fervently pursue the investigation - and each other - as their leads take them from Society's most elegant haunts to London's shadiest backstreets.
