The Dead Betray None

A Viscount Ware Mystery

by J.L. Buck

Genre: Historical Regency Mystery 

An aristocratic spy and a highborn lady cross paths over a dead body.

The Dead Betray None begins in 1811 when England is at war with France, facing the threat of revolutionaries at home, and on the verge of open conflict with America. Lucien Grey, Viscount Ware, has secretly  spied for the Crown on the Continent the last four years. Called home on family matters, he soon becomes bored with such a leisurely life. Then a French spy carrying a vital dispatch is captured, but the document  he carried--which could mean the difference between victory or defeat for Wellington's army--is stolen by a band of thieves.
Lucien agrees to assist the War Office  in recovering the dispatch, but he never envisioned the mission would include  such perilous complications  that would lead him from London's crime world to polite society's ballrooms and even into the shadows of the very government he serves.
