Legacy of blood

London, 1732. William Hogarth made a terrible error of judgment. He painted the Prince of Wales leaving a prostitute''s bed. A pregnant prostitute. And now she''s been killed. Hogarth has been warned. The only thing the girl''s killers don''t know is her child had been born - and Hogarth saw to it that he survived...This powerful secret - and the painting that proves it - has been protected by Sir Oliver Peters'' family for centuries, for Queen and country. But now it''s been stolen - on his watch. He heard the rumour about where it was, but he''s not the only one, and as the others are brutally murdered in quick succession, Peters is in a deadly race against time - and some very dangerous people - to find it before it''s too late. A legacy never means more than when it''s written in blood...
