Lord John and the Private Matter

London, June 1757. Major Lord John Grey, a nobleman and an officer in the king's army, leaves the Beefsteak Club shaken by something he has seen: a sign that Joseph Trevelyan, the fiancé of his cousin Olivia, may have the pox. Grey sets out to confirm it in secret and to spare his family a scandal.

Then the Crown assigns him a more urgent task, the investigation of the brutal murder of a fellow soldier who may have been a traitor, with military papers gone missing. The two inquiries begin to cross, and Grey must protect the people he loves, and his own hidden life, in a society that punishes the truth.

The first full-length novel about Lord John Grey, a spin-off from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, set in Georgian London during the Seven Years' War.
