Motive from the Deed — Patricia Wynn

In the fall of 1715, supporters of the Pretender James Stuart launch a revolution that threatens to overthrow George I. Accused of printing seditious pamphlets, Mrs. Kean's brother Jeremy has been sent to Newgate prison, where he soon finds himself charged with murder. Mrs. Kean and the earl-turned-highwayman, Blue Satan, can only uncover the motive that reveals the killer by first understanding the murderous deed. Third of the Blue Satan Mysteries. Historical Mystery by Patricia Wynn; originally published by Pemberley Press.
