Who Buries the Dead
by C. S. Harris
The grisly murder of a West Indies slave owner and the
reappearance of a dangerous enemy from Sebastian St.
Cyr’s past put C. S. Harris’s “troubled
but compelling antihero”* to the ultimate test in this
taut, thrilling entrée in the acclaimed, national
bestselling historical mystery series.
London, 1813. The decapitation of a wealthy
plantation owner at Bloody Bridge draws Sebastian St. Cyr
into a macabre and perilous investigation. The discovery
near the body of a lead coffin strap bearing the inscription
KING CHARLES, 1648 suggests a link between this killing and
the beheading of the seventeenth-century monarch. Equally
troubling, the victim’s kinship to the current Home
Secretary draws the notice of Sebastian’s
father-in-law, Lord Jarvis, who will exploit any means to
pursue his own clandestine ends.
Working with his wife, Hero, Sebastian amasses a list of
suspects who range from an eccentric curiosity collector to
the brother of a brilliantly observant spinster named Jane
Austen.
But as one murder follows another, it is the connection
between the victims and ruthless former army officer Lord
Oliphant that raises the stakes. Once, Oliphant nearly
destroyed Sebastian in a horrific act of betrayal. Now he
poses a threat not only to Sebastian but to
everything—and everyone—Sebastian holds dear.
Originally published March 2015 in hardcover.
