When an old friend pulls Richard Jury into the investigation of a wealthy bachelorâs murder, Juryâs not sure whatâs more perplexing: the circumstances of the fellowâs death, the conflicted stories of the manâs past, or the motivations of the caseâs lead detectiveâthe beautiful and forbidding Lu Aguilar. What Jury is sure of is that heâs in over his head, both with the inscrutable and challenging Aguilar and the false leads surrounding the once-charismatic Billy Maples, last seen in a club named Dust.
A web of clues draws Jury to the trendy Clerkenwell galleries, clubs, and hotels, to the dark stories behind Maplesâs family, and to the Sussex town of Rye, where Billy had temporarily taken up the tenancy of Lamb House, the charming home where Henry James composed his three masterworks . . . and a place with secrets of its own. With Melrose Plant investigating Lamb House, Aguilar interceding, and the appearance of Maplesâs mysterious young nephew, Scotland Yardâs finestâand now infamousâwill need every bit of his intelligence and quiet charm to crack the case.
