Book Overview
People across London are vanishing into the night, never to be seen again...
Until one foggy day in October 1929, when the ghost of a former acquaintence appears in private investigator Lucas Rathbone's office, not so much asking for his unique help, as proving unbearable to live with.
Motives for the dead man's murder abound, including one far too close to home.
But with so many other spirits telling an eerily similar sort of how they met their end, was this killing purely personal, or part of a larger, more deadly game of death?
***
Wagers of Sin is the first of the Beyond The Veil Detectives books, a series of historical mysteries set in 1920s London, following the adventures of private investigators Lucas Rathbone and his wife Clara, and their friends, sweethearts Tommy Kilbourne and Noah Adams. Together, they pool their skills and knowledge to get justice for the forgotten dead.
Please note that British English is used throughout.
BIOGRAPHY Saffron Amatti lives behind a keyboard in Nottingham, UK, and spends far too much time daydreaming about how to kill fictional people and (almost) get away with it.
Sometimes, she even remembers to write it down.
Saffron is the author of The Lucas Rathbone Mysteries, a series of historical cozy mysteries set in 1920s England featuring a reluctantly psychic amateur sleuth, his rather more enthusiastic girlfriend, and a whole host of spirits clamouring to have the mysteries surrounding their deaths solved.
