#19 When Falcons Fall by C.S. Harris

Sebastian is out in the countryside to deliver a final gift from Jamie to his grandmother and hopefully find out a little more about who might his biological father be. But his reputation precedes him and the local squire fairly new in his powers asks for his help with the death of a young artist widow. Set up to look like suicide but with the help of Sebastian it is ruled a murder. There are no witnesses and at first glance the village seems sleepy, but it is not. This book uses the murder to introduce the reader to the real history of Enclosure Movement and the fact that Napoleon’s brother lived in the area at the time. A good mystery that he solves with a several dead ends and dark past history of village uncovered.
