What Remains of Heaven

In the gripping twelfth installment of C.S. Harris's critically acclaimed Sebastian St. Cyr series, Regency London is once again plunged into darkness. When the controversial Bishop of London is found brutally murdered, Lord Sebastian St. Cyr, an aristocratic amateur sleuth, is drawn into a labyrinthine investigation. The trail of the killer leads Sebastian from the squalid, dangerous alleys of Smithfield, teeming with its underbelly of desperation and secrets, to the gilded, treacherous power corridors of Whitehall, where ambition and corruption reign supreme. As Sebastian delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that not only threatens to destabilize the highest echelons of society but also unearths long-buried, well-guarded secrets from his own complicated family past, forcing him to confront uncomfortable truths about his lineage and identity. With the fate of a city and his own peace of mind hanging in the balance, Sebastian must navigate a world of aristocratic intrigue, religious fervor, and personal betrayal to unmask a killer before more lives are lost and the truth is buried forever.
