A raid on a notorious tavern sees the city gripped with hatred of gays, coupled with suspicion of their political sympathies. A few miles away in St James's Palace, the Duke of Cumberland's valet suffers a violent death, which the authorities are anxious to see only as suicide. Caught between these two historical events, the fictional lawyer Wyre is reluctantly drawn into a network of dark alliances that appear to link the raid on the White Swan Tavern, the death at the Palace, and the war against France. Leading to a shocking revelation, the novel explores a labyrinthine city of asylums, brothels, and secret spaces, in which poets rub shoulders with pimps, and where the only constant is illicit desire. \"\"Turley makes his fiction debut with a superior whodunit inspired by a major sex scandal of the Regency era. . . Combines a gritty look at the times with a carefully constructed murder mystery that resolves itself in a way that may even surprise genre vet--Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67963016970528,"sku":"NEW1910124109","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/819NYyv4jgL.jpg?v=1792904348","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-cunning-house-1910124109","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
