Review by Booklist Review

No one has to tell Alf that Saint Giles is a man's world. That is the very reason the young woman disguises herself as a boy by day, when she roams the streets gathering information to sell, and as a man at night, when she patrols the streets as the current reincarnation of the vigilante Ghost of Saint Giles. However, when the ghost helps save Hugh Fitzroy, the Duke of Kyle, from an attack by the Scarlet Throat gang, Hugh discovers the ghost possesses certain physical attributes no man would ever have. Fortunately, Alf believes her secret is safe since she doesn't think she will ever cross paths with Hugh again until Hugh hires his mysterious rescuer to find who wants him dead. In the eleventh book in her popular Maiden Lane series, Hoyt (Duke of Sin, 2016) once again successfully deploys her irresistible literary triumvirate of marvelously engaging characters, boldly sensual love scenes, and elegant writing brightened with just the right dash of dry wit.--Charles, John Copyright 2017 Booklist
