With the aid of Lucius Grenville, London's most famous dandy, and Brewster, a ruffian employed by an underworld criminal, Lacey's investigation takes him from the elegant mansions of Grosvenor Square to the squalid lanes of Seven Dials, to houses that practice a highly illegal trade, spelling ruin and possible hanging for those caught within.
Lacey once again comes into the sphere of James Denis, the crime lord, when what appears to be a simple crime of hatred turns out to be far more complex.

Murder in Grosvenor Square
9Y. Murder in Grosvenor Square. 7/10
Leyland Derwent and his best friend Garath are long term gay partners who both try to hit on Gabriel. When Garath is murdered and Leyland nearly killed, Gabriel untangles the mystery. Garath's bitter young step-mother had employed the thugs to steal back the expensive little book, and murdered another man herself. A flaw in the story is that Gabriel had taken his writings of his adventures to Donata's house, but Denis reads them in Gabriels's old rooms.
