(2025)(A book in the Lord Ambrose Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Jane Jakeman
THE COMPLETE GOTHIC VICTORIAN MYSTERY SERIES
From England’s dusty fields to London’s dark alleys, from Naples’ sun-soaked ruins to revolutionary Paris’ glittering salons — murder follows wherever Lord Ambrose walks.
‘An intriguing Byronic hero.’ Publishers Weekly
‘An exciting historical mystery.’ Midwest Book Review
‘Excellent prose.’ Library Journal
THE SLEUTH WHO HUNTS IN SHADOWS
Lord Ambrose carries more than the burden of his crumbling estate. He is scarred by war — a pale scar runs from his cheekbone to his jaw. This relic of violence makes him a curiosity among polite society. Most days, he doesn’t bother appearing.
But when murder calls, Ambrose answers.
He seeks justice older and colder than any court — the kind that doesn't flinch from blood. A veteran of Greece’s bloody struggle for independence, he’s seen humanity at its worst and learned that truth is rarely pure and never simple.
With the instincts of a predator and a mind sharp enough to cut through lies, Ambrose hunts killers through Victorian England’s most twisted mysteries. He understands the darkness in human hearts because he carries his own.
Perfect for fans of Andrew Taylor, Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Anne Perry and Kerry Tombs.
THE COMPLETE SERIES:
Book 1: Let There Be Blood — murder strikes a remote farmhouse
Book 2: The Egyptian Coffin — ancient curses and modern crimes collide
Book 3: Fool's Gold — greed and deception in the heart of England
Book 4: Diamond Cut Diamond — a deadly game of cat and mouse
READERS ARE OBSESSED:
