WHEN THE DEVIL DRIVES

Autumn 1839. London is full of rumours about a chariot with devil-headed footmen who abduct young women. Housemaids' tales, Liberty Lane thinks.

She is occupied with two cases: trying to find a missing girl and keeping watch on a countess who may threaten a royal romance.

The discovery of a corpse in Hyde Park forces her and some very important people to take the devil-heads more seriously. Amos Legge, the most fashionable groom in London, is there to lend a hand, but will her unlikely apprentice Tabby be a help or a hindrance?
