Lord George's shocking murder set the stage for this series entry, in which Montmorency and cohorts vow to exact revenge. The search for Lord George's killers continues over four countries and two continents, with identity and forgiveness recurring concerns. The dawn-of-the-twentieth-century setting is as fully realized as ever, and Updale's broadening cast constitutes a warm and encompassing family for her hero.
