The Dead Betray None
A Viscount Ware Mystery
by J.L. Buck
Genre: Historical Regency Mystery
An aristocratic spy and a highborn lady cross paths over a dead body.
The
Dead Betray None begins
in 1811 when England is at war with France, facing the threat of
revolutionaries at home, and on the verge of open conflict with
America. Lucien Grey, Viscount Ware, has secretly spied for the
Crown on the Continent the last four years. Called home on family
matters, he soon becomes bored with such a leisurely life. Then a
French spy carrying a vital dispatch is captured, but the document
he carried--which could mean the difference between victory or defeat
for Wellington's army--is stolen by a band of thieves.
Lucien
agrees to assist the War Office in recovering the dispatch, but
he never envisioned the mission would include such perilous
complications that would lead him from London's crime world to
polite society's ballrooms and even into the shadows of the very
government he serves.
J l Buck began writing full-time after she retired from a legal career with the Juvenile Court System. Over the next few years, she published sixteen urban fantasy/paranormal novels under the pen name of Ally Shields. In 2019, she decided to fulfill a childhood wish to write mysteries, chose a period in history that fascinated her—and began work on the Viscount Ware Mystery series set in Regency England.
Ms Buck lives in the Midwest with Latte, a mischievous Siamese cat, who attempts to co-author her writing by taking over the keyboard. When not writing or running two blogs, J L Buck enjoys her eight grandchildren (and a great-grandson), reading (preferably on a sunny deck), travel (USA and abroad), and binge-watching any sub-genre of mystery shows.
