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 & the dark caves beneath Medmenham Abbey. In " Lord John & the Succubus" Grey's assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French & Austrian army & the menace of a mysterious 'night-hag ' who spreads fear & 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.
