A London night in November 1819. Six-year-old Colin Fraser vanishes from the cocoon of his family's Berkeley Square home.
From Library Journal
Grant masterfully weaves personal and political deceptions into a taut fabric of historical intrigue in 1819 England. When Charles and Melanie Fraser's young son is kidnapped, the motive seems to be ransom or political chicanery. However, the man behind the kidnapping wants a ring that has legendary powers to protect its wearer and rally support in a contested region of Spain. He is convinced that the Frasers know its location because of their part in the Spanish war against Napoleon seven years earlier. With only days to find the ring and save their son, Charles and Melanie reveal secrets about their pasts that tear through years of lies.
