Fino a ora, questo efferato serial killer ha ucciso solo sbandate e prostitute, il che gli ha permesso di avere vita facile con le svogliate indagini della polizia. Ma nella sua ultima, mortale messa in scena ha commesso due imperdonabili errori: ha ridotto in cenere la figlia di uno dei maggiori industriali di Minneapolis e si è esibito di fronte a un ignaro pubblico.

How long could such a gallant man’s desires be blind? And how soon—even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomery family and the Chatworth, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor—one woman’s love would make all the difference...one woman’s love would inflame a hero’s passion, touch a kings pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.
