Murray Lyon: Viscount Farstarr, unwilling heir to the Earldom of Starr, thanks to the passing of an almost forgotten cousin of his father's. Confronted with the treacherous labyrinth of speech, manners and dress that was Regency society, Murray is plunged into dark undercurrents of evil; the undying enmity of an infamous highwayman, the threat of blackmail and disgrace - and even a frame-up for murder. Only his shrewdness and frontier instincts are arrayed against the wicked deceit that threatens him - until he gains an unlikely ally.
