A Darkness in Seven Dials (Captain Lacey)

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — A Darkness in Seven Dials (Captain Lacey) by Ashley Gardner, Jennifer Ashley keeps its place in this browser.

March 1820 When James Denis is arrested for murder and lands himself in Newgate, it falls to me to prove his innocence. I have nowhere to start but in a dark street in Seven Dials and the name of the unknown man Denis is supposed to have killed. I soon find myself beleaguered by enemies from Denis’s past, secret societies, and a host of people who want Denis to hang. In addition I receive word from a mysterious young woman I haven’t heard from in years who now seeks my help.
