SUNDAY TIMES HISTORICAL BOOK OF THE MONTH

SHORTLISTED HISTORICAL CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR FOR THE CAPITAL CRIME FINGERPRINT AWARDS

Living in exile in Venice, the disgraced Lord Byron revels in the freedoms of the city. But when he is associated with the deaths of local women found with wounds to their throats, and then a novel called THE VAMPYRE is published in his name, rumours are spread to say that Byron may be the murderer. Haunted by whispering campaigns and the scandals of his past, Byron is forced to play detective and discover who is really behind the heinous crimes.

Rich in gothic atmosphere and drawing on some real events and characters from Byron’s life, Dangerous is a riveting historical thriller ~ as decadent and seductive as the poet himself.
