In rural Kensington a group of French emigres are pursuing a scientific dream, the discovery of a planet they call Selene. The group has fallen under the spell of a beautiful and amoral woman - Auguste de Montpellier who is at once their muse and dark angel. Meanwhile a killer lurks in the back streets of the capital- the victims are all prostitutes and have been paid in French Louis d'Or, the currency of France's spies.Jonathan Absey is a Home Office clerk whose official task is to smash the French spy ring. Privately however, he has become obsessed with the murders. These interests intersect when he finds himself drawn into the Montpellier circle, yet his pursuit for truth remains obscured through coded letters, opium and conspiracy. Absey must uncover the mystery before the summer dies; an invasion fleet is being prepared to set sail across the channel and the lives of those on board now rest on his discoveries.

Etat : Very Good. : Londres, verano de 1795: una temporada de fervor revolucionario, descubrimientos científicos y asesinatos brutales. El gobierno británico está en desorden, incapaz de detener el flujo de secretos a París, traiciones que condenan sus esfuerzos bélicos al fracaso. En la zona rural de Kensington, un grupo de emigrados franceses persiguen un sueño científico, el descubrimiento de un planeta al que llaman Selene. El grupo ha caído bajo el hechizo de una mujer hermosa y amoral, Auguste de Montpellier, que es a la vez su musa y su ángel oscuro. Mientras tanto, un asesino acecha en las calles secundarias de la capital: las víctimas son todas prostitutas y se les ha pagado en luises de oro franceses, la moneda de los espías de Francia. Jonathan Absey es un empleado del Ministerio del Interior cuya tarea oficial es desmantelar la red de espías francesa. Sin embargo, en privado, se ha obsesionado con los asesinatos. Estos intereses se cruzan cuando se ve arrastrado al círculo de Montpellier, pero su búsqueda de la verdad permanece oscurecida a través de cartas codificadas, opio y conspiración. Absey debe descubrir el misterio antes de que muera el verano; se está preparando una flota de invasión para zarpar a través del canal y las vidas de los que están a bordo ahora descansan en sus descubrimientos.
