Alec, Lord Halsey is sent on a diplomatic mission to Midanich, imperial outpost of the Holy Roman Empire, to bargain for the freedom of imprisoned friends. Midanich is a place of great danger and dark secrets, a country at civil war ruled by a family with madness in its veins. Awaiting him at his destination is the Margrave and his sister, demanding nothing less than Alec’s head on a pike.

Lucinda Brant has once again constructed a deliciously complex story that is immensely readable and completely un-put-down-able. Her writing is a joy to read; she never talks down to her readers and allows us to follow clues without feeling the need to drop anvils on our heads or explain everything at regular intervals. The dénouement is as chilling as it is gobsmacking; and although I will say that I had an inkling of where things were headed, she kept me guessing right up until the last minute, and then completely wrong-footed me. If you’re looking to read a gripping, intelligently written and skilfully crafted historical mystery in the near future, then you need look no further than Deadly Peril. I promise you won’t regret it.
