Augustus Swift is a man conflicted...

1795, London

It is the age of the Enlightenment, yet political control is still firmly in the hands of the aristocratic landowners, as it has been for centuries.

Augustus Swift is a physician who has studied modern medicine and logic at Edinburgh University. He is a humanist who looks to science to explain the world rather than religious beliefs.

Yet fate raises a capricious eyebrow in his direction when he is recruited to undertake autopsies. His life is dedicated to the physician's ethical principles, but now, by working for the government, his actions are perpetuating the injustices of those in power.

A series of cabinet members have been poisoned and the Home Secretary wants to know who is behind it and why.

Swift, with his brilliant seventeen-year-old daughter, Cully at his side eventually agrees to take on this complicated task, but the closer they get to the truth, the more the danger mounts.

Who is targeting the cabinet? Is it someone with a personal grievance?

Or is there a wider conspiracy at play...?

BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH is the first historical murder investigation in the Augustus Swift Investigations Series: 18th century crime thrillers set in London at a time of Revolution.
