It's September 1811, and someone is killing the wealthy young sons of London's most prominent families. Partially butchered, with strange objects stuffed into their mouths, their bodies are found dumped in public places at dawn.
When the grisly remains of Alfred, Lord Stanton's eldest son are discovered in the Old Palace Yard beside the House of Lords, the local magistrate turns to Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for help.
Ranging from the gritty world of Thames-side docks to the luxurious drawing rooms of Mayfair, Sebastian finds himself confronting his most puzzling--and disturbing--case yet. With the help of his trusted allies--young servant Tom, Irish doctor Paul Gibson, and his lover Kat Boleyn--Sebastian struggles to decipher a cryptic set of clues that link the scion of a banking family to the son of a humble Kentish vicar.
For as one killing follows another, Sebastian discovers he is confronting a murderer with both a method and a purpose to his ritualized killings, and that the key to it all may lie in the enigmatic stanzas of a haunting poem...and in a secret so dangerous that men are willing to sacrifice their own children to keep the truth from becoming known.

Zustand: Bueno. : En septiembre de 1811, alguien está asesinando a los jóvenes y ricos hijos de las familias más prominentes de Londres. Parcialmente mutilados, con extraños objetos metidos en sus bocas, sus cuerpos son encontrados abandonados en lugares públicos al amanecer. Cuando los horripilantes restos del hijo mayor de Alfred, Lord Stanton, son descubiertos en el Old Palace Yard junto a la Cámara de los Lores, el magistrado local recurre a Sebastian St. Cyr, vizconde Devlin, en busca de ayuda. Desde el arenoso mundo de los muelles del Támesis hasta los lujosos salones de Mayfair, Sebastian se enfrenta a su caso más desconcertante y perturbador hasta el momento. Con la ayuda de sus aliados de confianza, el joven sirviente Tom, el médico irlandés Paul Gibson y su amante Kat Boleyn, Sebastian lucha por descifrar un conjunto críptico de pistas que vinculan al vástago de una familia de banqueros con el hijo de un humilde vicario de Kent. A medida que un asesinato sigue a otro, Sebastian descubre que se enfrenta a un asesino con un método y un propósito para sus asesinatos ritualizados, y que la clave de todo puede estar en las enigmáticas estrofas de un poema inquietante. y en un secreto tan peligroso que los hombres están dispuestos a sacrificar a sus propios hijos para evitar que la verdad se conozca.
