Book Description
Pre-order Winter’s Season now and be among the first to enter a world of danger, desire, and Regency-era intrigue—where one battle-hardened investigator stands between London and the darkness closing in.
London, 1817. A city glittering with wealth—and rotting with secrets.
Before detectives existed, before police walked the streets, one man was sent to face the darkness alone.
When a wealthy young woman is found murdered in an alley known for danger and desperation, a covert bureau in Whitehall summons its most unconventional operative: Captain Winter. A veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, Winter is a gentleman shaped by violence, able to slip as easily into aristocratic salons as he can disappear into the city’s grimmest taverns.
With no forensic science to guide him and no officers to command, Winter must rely on instinct, experience, and a few trusted allies: a nobleman from his childhood who opens the doors of the elite, a brilliant Jewish physician who reads truths from the dead, and Barbara Lightwood—Winter’s former lover, dangerously perceptive and guarding secrets that could save or doom them both.
As Winter tracks a killer through drawing rooms thick with lies and streets echoing with menace, he uncovers a web of deception that reaches further than anyone dares admit. Every step draws him deeper into a conspiracy, and closer to the reckoning he’s tried to outrun since the war.
Justice in 1817 is ruthless. And the man who delivers it must be, too.
