Lady Julia Grey Volume 1

Silent In The Grave Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. These ominous words are the last threat that the darling of London society, Sir Edward Grey, receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, Sir Edward collapses and dies at his London home. Determined to bring her husband's murderer to justice, Lady Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, Lady Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths Silent In The Sanctuary Fresh from a six–month sojourn in Italy, Lady Julia returns home to Sussex to find her father's estate crowded with family and friends– including Nicholas Brisbane. But the homecoming celebrations quickly take a ghastly turn when one of the guests is found brutally murdered in the chapel, and a member of Lady Julia's own family confesses to the crime. Certain of her cousin's innocence, Lady Julia resumes her partnership with Brisbane, setting out to unravel a tangle of deceit before the killer can strike again. Silent On The Moor In the face of protests from her conventional, stuffy brother, Lady Julia decides to pay a visit to the mysterious detective Nicholas Brisbane, to bring a woman's touch to his new estate. But Grimsgrave is haunted by the ghosts of its past, and its owner seems to be falling into ruin along with the house. Confronted with gypsy warnings and Brisbane's elusive behaviour, Lady Julia scents a mystery. It's not long before her desire for answers leads her into danger unlike any other that she has experienced– and from which, this time, there may be no escape.
