From the back cover
As if a head for business and a nose for trouble arent enough to distinguish Lavinia Lake from other women, Lavinia is also well versed in the practice of mesmerism. Nobody knows this better than Tobias March, who has fallen hopelessly under her spell. But Lavinia has retired her powers in favor of their partnership-providing discreet private inquires for individuals of quality. But when Celeste Hudson, the wife of a family friend and fellow mesmerist, is found murdered, with a gentlemans cravat wound around her lovely neck, Lake and March get on the trail of a killer. Any number of ruthless types-which may include the grieving husband-are after Celestes priceless bracelet, said to possess legendary powers. And soon they will be after Tobias and Lavinia too, as the investigation leads them from the glittering ballrooms of the ton to the darkest reaches of mens psyches.
