Publisher's Synopsis
July 1811. Raif Jarrett has returned from war and taken up a new role as agent to the Duke of Penrith. Sent to Woolbridge in Durham, he finds its people caught in a web of crime and corruption. He is beginning to make sense of the town when a young girl is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect. It will take all his deductive skills, charm and wit, plus a visit from the Duke's son, to help clear his name.
