This one was a little bit 'meh' for me, compared to the others. (

Peter Thompson of the Thames River police asks Lacey to try and find the murderer of a person killed about fifteen years earlier, all he has are the bones, a piece of cloth and a locket.
Meanwhile he is receiving blackmail letters stating that he is not the real Captain Lacey, and trying to cope with his daughters' coming out.
I really enjoy this series, the stories, the characters and the writing style. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

June, 1818

The letter, neatly folded at my plate, looked innocuous enough, but I had a sense of disquiet about it.
