Lord John Grey, ansedd adelsman och hög officer i Konungens armé, har fått ett dilemma på halsen. Den tilltänkte gemålen till hans dygdiga sextonåriga kusin tros ha drabbats av franska smittan och lord John måste med stor diskretion ta reda på om detta är sant.Men han avbryts av akuta tjänsteplikter. En officerskollega har blivit mördad och lord John får uppdraget att utreda omständigheterna.

En förödande sanningÅret är 1758 och sjuårskriget är i full gång. Officeren lord John Grey är en dödlig familjehemlighet på spåren. Hans far, hertigen av Pardloe, sköt sig några dagar innan han skulle ha ställts inför rätta anklagad för förräderi och beblandning med jakobiter. Nu, sjutton år senare, är familjenamnet rentvått och dess ära återupprättad, men ett förestående bröllop blåser nytt liv i skandalen.Lord Johns bror Hal befaller sin bror att inte ägna saken någon uppmärksamhet. I sin frustration vänder sig lord John därför till en man som har varit såväl hans fånge som hans biktfader: den skotske jakobiten James Fraser.Men kriget, en förbjuden kärlekshistoria och Jamie Frasers egna hemligheter försvårar lord Johns sökande efter sanningen. När Fraser slutligen ger honom den saknade biten i ett förbluffande pussel måste lord John bestämma sig för om familjens ära är värd priset av hans eget liv.Svärdets brödraskap är den andra boken i den äventyrliga och historiska romanserien om Outlanderkaraktären lord John Grey.

A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey's shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan's library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey's assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious 'night-hag,' who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon's two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry's questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** 'John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series!'***** 'My eyes couldn't read fast enough!!'***** ' I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don't know how Diana G. does it!'***** 'I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book.'***** 'The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.'

On a bright June day, Lord John Grey emerges from his club, his mind in turmoil. A nobleman and a high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, Grey has just witnessed something shocking.

________________________________The first book in Diana Gabaldon's LORD JOHN GREY series, set in the same world as her OUTLANDER novelsIt's 1758 and Europe is in turmoil - the Seven Years War is taking hold and London is ripe with deceit. The enigmatic Lord John Grey, a nobleman and high-ranking officer in His Majesty's Army, pursues a clandestine love affair and a deadly family secret. Grey's father, the Duke of Pardloe, shot himself just days before he was to be accused of being a Jacobite traitor. Now, seventeen years on, the family name has been redeemed; but an impending marriage revives the scandal. Lord John knows that as Whitehall whispers, rumours all too often lead their victims to the wails of Newgate prison - and to the gallows. From barracks and parade-grounds to the bloody battlefields of Prussia, Grey faces danger and forbidden passions in his search for the truth. But it is in the stony fells of the Lake District that he finds the man who may hold the key to his quest: the enigmatic Jacobite prisoner Jamie Fraser. Eighteenth-century Europe is brought startlingly to life in this compelling adventure mystery.
