When Lord Lammermoor plunges to his death from Westminster Bridge before a dozen witnesses, his death is ruled a suicide. But his fatal leap coincides with the arrival of Dr. Goldsworthyâa student of the famous Dr. Anton Mesmer and his research into animal magnetism. Sir Johnâs suspicions grow when he learns that Goldsworthyâs patron in London is none other than the beautiful Lady Lammermoor. And the deeper Jeremy investigates the Lammermoor family, the more suspects he discovers who stand to gain from Lord Lammermoorâs death.
âA wonderful series.ââThe Washington Post Book World
