Who Speaks for the Damned - Sebastian St. Cyr, Bk 15 - Large Print Author:C. S. Harris It's June 1814, and the royal families of Austria, Russia, and the German states have gathered in London to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon and the restoration of monarchical control throughout Europe. But the festive atmosphere is marred one warm summer evening by the brutal murder of a disgraced British nobleman long thought dead. — Eighte... more »en years before, Nicholas Hayes, the third son of the late Earl of Seaford, was accused of killing a beautiful young French emigre and transported to Botany Bay for life. Few in London were surprised when they heard the ne'er-do-well had died in disgrace in New South Wales. But recently Hayes returned to London with a mysterious young boy in tow -- a child who vanished shortly after Nicholas's body was discovered.
Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, is drawn into the investigation by an old friend of the dead man. Sebastian begins to piece together the shattered life of the ill-fated Earl's son. Why did Nicholas risk his life and freedom by returning to England? And why did he bring the young boy with him?
