About the Book: Extravagant Death
In what promises to be a breakout in Charles Finchs bestselling series, Charles
Lenox travels to the New York and Newport of the dawning Gilded Age to
investigate the death of a beautiful socialite. London, 1878. With faith in
Scotland Yard shattered after a damning corruption investigation, Charles Lenoxs
detective agency is rapidly expanding. The gentleman sleuth has all the work he
can handle, two children, and an intriguing new murder case. But when Prime
Minister Benjamin Disraeli offers him the opportunity to undertake a diplomatic
mission for the Queen, Lenox welcomes the chance to satisfy an unfulfilled
yearning: to travel to America.
