Four years ago when her brother was committed to Bedlam for murder, Artemis Greaves became the companion to her cousin, Lady Penelope. Used to be unnoticed, Aretmis comes to the attention of the Ghost of St. Giles when she and her cousin are accosted on the street. Maximus Batten, the Duke of Wakefield, has posed as the Ghost of St. Giles for many years, searching for the person responsible for the death of his parents. A man calling himself "old scratch" has popped onto the scene and the Duke believes he may have been behind the murders. Now Artemis has discovered his alter-ego and demands that Maximus break her brother out of Bedlam or she will expose him to the authorities.

I wasn't sure that I would like this book in the Maiden Lane series because I wasn't a big fan of Maximus in the previous books. And, even though he is a bit of a bonehead when it comes to Artemis, in the end he finally admitted he couldn't live without her. I loved Artemis and how she dealt with the fact that her brother, Apollo, was committed for murder and she had to accept a position of companion to her selfish cousin. I also was happy that she didn't give Maximus an ultimatum, but let him figure out what he needed to do. My rating: 4 Stars.
