Murder on Black Swan Lake (A Wrexford & Sloane Mystery Book 1)

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior.

As their war of words escalates, London’s most popular satirical cartoonist, A.J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a church—his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear—and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.
