An exciting historical adventure by the internationally acclaimed author of the OUTLANDER series.

The year is 1757. On a bright June day, Lord John Grey steps out of his club, with his mind in turmoil. As a nobleman and senior officer of the army, Grey has just witnessed a shocking event. But his efforts to avoid a scandal that could destroy his family are interrupted by something even more urgent: the Crown appoints him to investigate the brutal murder of a comrade, who may have been a traitor.

Forced to investigate two cases simultaneously, Major Grey finds himself ensnared in a web of treachery that touches all levels of society - and threatens everything he loves. From the brothels of London's night world to the salons of the aristocracy, from the blood of a murdered body to the storm-tossed seas of the East India Company, Lord John follows the elusive trail of the woman in green, who may hold the key to it all - or to nothing.

The early days of the Seven Years' War come vividly to life in this historical mystery adventure by the acclaimed author, whose unique and compelling storytelling has captivated millions of readers worldwide.
