Lady Darby returns to London with her new husband, Sebastian Gage, but newlywed bliss won't last for long when her past comes back to haunt her in the latest exciting installment in this national bestselling series.

November 1831. After fleeing London in infamy more than two years prior, Lady Kiera Darby's return to the city is anything but mundane, though not for the reasons she expected. A gang of body snatchers is arrested on suspicion of imitating the notorious misdeeds of Edinburgh criminals, Burke and Hare--killing people from the streets and selling their bodies to medical schools. Then Kiera's past--a past she thought she'd finally made peace with--rises up to haunt her.

All of London is horrified by the evidence that "burkers" are, indeed, at work in their city. The terrified populace hovers on a knife's edge, ready to take their enmity out on any likely suspect. And when Kiera receives a letter of blackmail, threatening to divulge details about her late anatomist husband's involvement with the body snatchers and wrongfully implicate her, she begins to apprehend just how precarious her situation is. Not only for herself, but also her new husband and investigative partner, Sebastian Gage, and their unborn child.

Meanwhile, the young scion of a noble family has been found murdered a block from his home, and the man's family wants Kiera and Gage to investigate. Is it a failed attempt by the London burkers, having left the body behind, or the crime of someone much closer to home? Someone who stalks the privileged, using the uproar over the burkers to cover his own dark deeds?

Not Wrinkle-Free at All — Very Misleading Description
Color: Orange-pink, Size: Medium
I specifically purchased this clothing item because it was advertised as having “Wrinkle-Free Fabric.” Unfortunately, the actual result was very disappointing. After washing and drying it according to the care instructions, the entire garment came out covered in wrinkles. There was absolutely no sign of any wrinkle-free or anti-wrinkle effect. Every wash still requires ironing, which seriously contradicts the product description. If you are buying this item because of the “Wrinkle-Free” claim, I would recommend thinking twice. The quality does not match the advertising at all.

Not Wrinkle Free
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I like these shirts because they are comfortable and cool. The microfiber fabric is smooth and breathable. However, I find that they must be ironed while damp for best appearance. They do not dry wrinkle free. Also, small specks of lint from the washer seem to get caught in the microfiber weave.

Great Shirt except for the Cuff Size
Size: 20" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
My only complaint is that when I use the inner cuff buttons to make the cuffs tighter, the cuffs still aren’t small enough (larger than my other shirts of the same size). My wrists are about average, or maybe even a little larger than average. This feature is important for those of us who need a larger neck size but a shorter sleeve. They don’t make a 20 inch collar with a 32/33 sleeve (for some reason)… unless you order a custom shirt for several times as much money… so I have to buy a shirt with sleeves that are too long. That works fine as long as I can use the second cuff button to make the cuffs tighter, so that the sleeves don’t ride down onto my hand when I’m wearing my suit. It’s annoying to have to take a new shirt to a tailor to have the cuff buttons relocated.
