A murder mystery. Private investigator Drake doesn't work for nobility, but he's not given much choice when he's set upon by two thugs. It's not entirely the best way to set on a new employee, but he's persuaded to investigate the death of Lord Abergreen. His investigations lead him to a shocking discovery. If I said the clue is in the title, that's as much as you're going to get.
I'd almost decided not to finish this book when there was a turn of events that piqued my interest. Luckily the book itself was short or I might still have given up.. I think my main gripe was the fact that I didn't much care for Drake. He was a bit of a negative character and didn't seem to care for much himself, except staying alive.
