  • "A rich novel of politics and bad blood set against the dramatic backdrop of the current drive to reform the House of Lords."@en
  • "The first Lord Nanther clearly hoped to be the subject of an admiring posthumous biography. Having built a name for himself as Queen Victoria's favoured physician - expert on blood diseases and particular the royal disease of haemophilia - he fastidiously set about recording the details of his eminent life. But when the present Lord Nanther begins to research the life of his great-grandfather, he begins to suspect that these old records conceal more that they reveal."@en
  • "Martin Nanther researches the life of his great-grandfather Henry Nanther, the personal physician to Queen Victoria and the first doctor to be granted a peerage. As Martin digs deeper, Henry's obsession with blood and the number of friends and relatives who died mysterious deaths begins to take on an ominous tone."
  • "When biographer Martin Nanther looks into the life of his famous great-grandfather Henry, Queen Victoria's favorite physician, he discovers some rather unsettling coincidences, like the fact that the doctor married the sister of his recently murdered fiancée. The more Martin researches his distant relative, the more fascinated--and horrified--he becomes. Why did people have a habit of dying around his great grandfather? And what did his late daughter mean when she wrote that he's done "monstrous, quite appalling things"?"
  • "Lord Nanther embarks on a biography of his great-grandfather, the first Lord Nanther, physician extraordinary to Queen Victoria and an expert on blood diseases. What he uncovers begins to horrify him as he realizes that Nanther died a guilty man - carrying a horrific secret to the grave."
