Who Cries for the Lost: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery - C. S. Harris - Bog

"June 1815. The people of London wait, breathlessly, for news as Napoleon and the forces united against him hurtle toward their final reckoning at Waterloo. Among them is Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, frustrated to find himself sidelined while recovering from a dangerous wound he recently received in Paris. When the mutilated corpse of Major Miles Sedgewick surfaces from the murky waters of the Thames, Sebastian is drawn into the investigation of a murder that threatens one of his oldest and dearest friends, Irish surgeon Paul Gibson. The deeper Sebastian delves into Sedgewick's life, the more he learns about the Major's many secrets and the list of people who could have wanted him dead grows long. Soon others connected to Sedgewick begin to die strange, brutal deaths. Certain that Gibson will be implicated alongside his lover Alexi Sauvage, who was tricked into a bigamous marriage with Sedgewick, Sebastian finds himself in a desperate race against time to stop the killings and save his friends from the terror of the gallows." --
