Now one of these characters, Major Lord John Grey, opens the door to his own part of this world — eighteenth-century London, a seething anthill of nobility and rabble peopled by soldiers and spies, whores and dukes. Great Britain is battling France for supremacy on three continents — and life is good for a soldier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe year is 1757. On a clear morning in mid-June, Lord John Grey emerges from London’s Beefsteak Club, his mind in turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty’s Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking. But his efforts to avoid a scandal that might destroy his family are interrupted by something still more the Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a comrade in arms, who may have been a traitor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObliged to pursue two inquiries at once, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery and betrayal that touches every stratum of English society — and threatens all he holds dear.
