Arthur Drew, a personal valet in the early 1900's has spent ten years working for Richard Stewart, the Earl of Tenby and his English aristocratic family (Downton Abbey style). Over these years Arthur has served and protected this employer well, anticipating his every need and ensuring no harm befalls him. He knows all too well the dark side of his employer and his perverted habits. Despite this he keeps the Earl safe so that he himself can carry out a vendetta against him when the time is right. In the Stewart home, ThornHall Manor, a ninety room mansion full of servants, Arthur relies on 100 year old secret passages and hidden listening devices to learn the sins of Richard and his entire family. Greed, lust, incest, infidelity and murder are the crimes that have been committed by the mighty Stewart's. After learning of their depraved lives, Arthur adds each family members name to his list. He has decided that now every member of the powerful and wealthy Stewart family must pay! The valet has weaved an intricate plan that when put into motion will have each member of the family paying for their sins with their very lives. 'The Valet' takes the reader to Braintree, Essex and to London in the early 1900's. It depicts life below stairs for those men and woman working in service and those above stairs who employed them and how they lived their lavish lives. A family of wealth and privilege destroyed by their own depravity and lust.
