Publisher Description
On a cold January night in 1817, former cavalry officer Captain Gabriel Lacey is summoned to the banks of the Thames to identify the body of a pretty young woman who has been murdered. Stirred by compassion and angry at whoever would destroy her, Lacey vows to find her killer.
His search takes him to the Glass House, a sordid gaming hell and brothel that played a large part in the victim's past. As he learns more about Peaches, the victim, he discovers she is at the heart of scandals both among the haut ton and in the chambers of respectable Middle Temple barristers.
As he investigates, Lacey also finds himself drawn deeper into the schemes of the crime lord James Denis.
Book 3 of the Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries. This is a full-length novel.

Not as good
I read the previous books and was left wanting more not so much with this one. C. Lacey falls flat, one dimentional and his relationship with the Brandon's annoying and childish. What is it with him and Luiza ..?? the only interesting couple was not even mentioned as it should Grenville and Marianne. The victim what an ugly character. If you can skip this one do it. I will still give a try to the next book since the story does flow easily and I find it hard to find any books lately even remotely interesting.
