The Angel and the Cad: Love, Loss and Scandal in Regency England


Description

At the age of sixteen, Catherine Tylney Long became the wealthiest heiress in England, and the public found their 'angel'.

As they travelled across Europe, they became embroiled in a series of scandals that shocked the public and culminated in a landmark court case. Meticulously researched and rich with dazzling detail, The Angel and the Cad is a tale of love and betrayal that twists and turns until the final page.

For Decker and his wife, unraveling the truth behind Ernesto's violent death becomes more terrifying with each sinister twist.
