Von seinem verblassenden Ruhm als Held bei Waterloo kann sich Rider Sandman im London des Jahres 1817 leider nichts kaufen. Aus schierer Not übernimmt er einen Auftrag des Innenministers: Er soll routinemäßig die Hintergründe eines Todesurteils prüfen. Der Fall: eine Dame von Adel, vergewaltigt und anschließend erstochen, Täter war angeblich ein junger Maler. Dass der aber freiwillig keine Frau anfassen würde, wird Sandman schnell klar. Nur wer war es dann? Die Tote hatte ein exotisches Vorleben als Schauspielerin – mit vielen Verehrern und noch mehr Feinden. Sandman fügt Puzzleteil an Puzzleteil und steht irgendwann vor der Türe des Seraphim’s Club. Herren aus allerhöchsten Kreisen verkehren darin. Und was sie dort treiben, weiß keiner. Ein wunderbarer Roman aus dem London der Regency-Zeit, spannend, vor Leben sprühend, einfach großartig.
