The restorative power of the ocean brings Jane Austen and her beloved brother Henry, to Brighton after Henry's wife is lost to a long illness.
But the crowded, glittering resort is far from peaceful, especially when the lifeless body of a beautiful young society miss is discovered in the bedchamber of none other than George Gordon--otherwise known as Lord Byron.
As a poet and a seducer of women, Byron has carved out a shocking reputation for himself--but no one would ever accuse him of being capable of murder.
Now it falls to Jane to pursue this puzzling investigation and discover just how ``mad, bad, and dangerous to know`` Byron truly is.
And she must do so without falling victim to the charming versifier's legendary charisma, lest she, too, become a cautionary example for the ages.
