Who Buries the Dead (Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery)

Who Buries the Dead (Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery)

The grisly murder of a West Indies slave owner and the reappearance of a dangerous enemy from Sebastian St. Cyrâ€™s past put C. S. Harrisâ€™s â€œtroubled but compelling antiheroâ€* to the ultimate test in this taut, thrilling entrÃ©e in the acclaimed, national bestselling historical mystery series.
Â
London, 1813. The decapitation of a wealthy plantation owner at Bloody Bridge draws Sebastian St. Cyr into a macabre and perilous investigation. The discovery near the body of a lead coffin strap bearing the inscription KING CHARLES, 1648 suggests a link between this killing and the beheading of the seventeenth-century monarch. Equally troubling, the victimâ€™s kinship to the current Home Secretary draws the notice of Sebastianâ€™s father-in-law, Lord Jarvis, who will exploit any means to pursue his own clandestine ends.
Â
Working with his wife, Hero, Sebastian amasses a list of suspects who range from an eccentric curiosity collector to the brother of a brilliantly observant spinster named Jane Austen.
Â
But as one murder follows another, it is the connection between the victims and ruthless former army officer Lord Oliphant that raises the stakes. Once, Oliphant nearly destroyed Sebastian in a horrific act of betrayal. Now he poses a threat not only to Sebastian but to everythingâ€”and everyoneâ€”Sebastian holds dear.
