Where the Dead Lie by C. S. Harris, a Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery (12th in series)
Publisher: Berkley
The gruesome murder of a young boy takes Sebastian St. Cyr from the gritty streets of London to the glittering pleasure haunts of the aristocracy …
London, 1813. Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is no stranger to the dark side of the city, but he's never seen anything like this: the brutalized body of a fifteen-year-old boy dumped into a makeshift grave on the grounds of an abandoned factory.

And though dark, powerful forces are moving against him, Sebastian will risk his reputation and his life to keep more innocents from harm …
