Why Kings Confess: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery

The gruesome murder of a young French physician draws aristocratic investigator Sebastian St. Cyr and his pregnant wife, Hero, into a dangerous, decades-old mystery as a wrenching piece of Sebastianâ€™s past puts him to the ultimate test.

Regency England, January 1813: When a badly injured Frenchwoman is found beside the mutilated body of Dr. Damion Pelletan in one of Londonâ€™s worst slums, Sebastian finds himself caught in a high-stakes tangle of murder and revenge. Although the woman, Alexi Sauvage, has no memory of the attack, Sebastian knows her all too well from an incident in his pastâ€”an act of wartime brutality and betrayal that nearly destroyed him.

As the search for the killer leads Sebastian into a treacherous web of duplicity, he discovers that Pelletan was part of a secret delegation sent by Napoleon to investigate the possibility of peace with Britain. Despite his powerful father-in-lawâ€™s warnings, Sebastian plunges deep into the mystery of the â€œLost Dauphin,â€ the boy prince who disappeared in the darkest days of the French Revolution, and soon finds himself at lethal odds with the Dauphinâ€™s sisterâ€”the imperious, ruthless daughter of Marie Antoinetteâ€”who is determined to retake the French crown at any cost.

With the murderer striking ever closer, Sebastian must battle new fears about Heroâ€™s health and that of their soon-to-be born child. When he realizes the key to their survival may lie in the hands of an old enemy, he must finally face the truth about his own guilt in a past he has found too terrible to consider....
