Murder in St. Giles Murder in St. Giles

Publisher Description

When Brewster, my bodyguard, comes to me about a murder of a pugilist—and what’s more, says his wife has summoned me—I must hasten to St. Giles to find a killer before Brewster is arrested for the crime. This is made difficult because my wife’s late husband’s odious cousin has materialized to try to wrest her son into his care. After all, seven-year-old Peter is a viscount, and his cousin wants to get closer to the title.


But how close? If Peter’s life is in danger, I must remain, but Brewster risks hanging for the death of his wife’s brother-in-law. He’s done too much for me to turn my back on him, but the devil if I’ll let the Breckenridge cousin get his clutches on Peter. 


It will take all my perseverance, and a few wiles, to plough through these difficulties. In the meantime, I meet a Runner who teaches me about crime and punishment in this enlightened age, and Brewster’s old trainer, who made him the excellent pugilist—and thief—he is today.

Great read!

Thoroughly enjoyed this latest instalment of the Captain Lacey murder mysteries. Love all the characters and the way they band together to solve a murder. Glad to hear there’s more to come. 👍😀

Excellent

Wonderfully readable continuation of the series. Clever weaving of the plots with many twists and turns. At the same time educating me on an interesting period of English history. Can’t wait for the next book, I do hope it is less than a year!
