Publisher Description
Diana Gabaldon, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander saga, brings back one of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey. Here Gabaldon weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives-a shattering family mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World to the New. It's been seventeen years since Lord John's father, the Duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining forever a family's honor. Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring. Lord John's brother has mysteriously received a page of their late father's missing diary-and John is convinced that someone is taunting the Grey family with secrets from the grave. So he turns to the only man he can trust: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser. But war, a forbidden affair, and Fraser's own secrets will complicate Lord John's quest-until James Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle and Lord John must decide whether his family's honor is worth his life.

"I loved this book Lord John is amazing and very cool, officer and a gentleman describes him perfectly. The Jamie appearance at the end was AMAZING and what Lord John Grey does at that meet up is shocking. I just loved this book. I also like LJ view of Jamie since Claire's is limited. "

Quotes

“Meticulously researched…Not only is this a solid mystery, it also adds to the Outlander chronicles, making it a great way to bide your time until the next book appears.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars) -
“In typical Gabaldon style, this is a plush period piece, satisfyingly immersed in the details of eighteenth-century London society and the Seven Years’ War.”
— AudioFile -
“Woodman masterfully reads Gabaldon’s latest historical mystery. His light British accent and occasionally delicate tones make protagonist Lord John Grey’s rare bouts of passion and anger seem even more profound…From Irish soldier hooligans to Grey’s Prussian friends, the characters receive distinct treatments.”

" My favorite one out of the trilogy. But to be honest, if Lord John wasn't part of the Outlander series, I wouldn't have read these books. "
— Amy, 4/20/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book, but wonder if Diana is writing for women reading about a gay man, or if gay men ejoy reading these Lord John books, also. "
— Karen, 4/18/2011 -
" Thank you Diana, I loved discovering the real Lord John who is a very sensitive, loving and sensual man. "

" Very good. Well-written relationship driven mystery. Characters introduced in the Outlander series are protrayed in more depth or from a different perspective. "
— Susan, 2/17/2011 -
" I like the basic story but the relationship/s of Lord John Grey and his paramour/s is not exactly my cup of tea. But thankfully, it was easy to skim through those parts. "
— Adele, 2/14/2011 -
" I really like the fact that she does her research. You know that she has done her homework. Good read. "
— Debra, 2/11/2011 -
" This was a very well-written visit with old friends. I'm not sure it would be as enjoyable if you weren't already connected to the characters. In fact, there were times when I lost track of what the mystery was. "
