Prey and Prejudice
(Click for large version)
"It's all about the money, sir. It's always
about the money. It seems that there is not as much as anyone
believes."
When Sir Lucas Davenport takes his place as Lord of Leadworth
Manor, he's expecting a life of frivolity and relaxation. Nothing at all like
his days on the London Metropolitan Police, or his later days in the House of
Lords. But life never works out how it is intended.
Trouble surfaces abruptly at the nearby Pemberley estate. The
master of the house, Fitzwilliam Darcy, vanishes without a trace. His wife,
Elizabeth, is distraught with worry. Or is that something else in her
eyes?
As the shadows begin to deepen, and the social circles start
to fray, Sir Lucas must call upon his old skills and talents as an officer of
the law, and find the truth at the heart of the matter.
