Beau Death is the most recent (2017) in the Peter Diamond series by Peter Lovesey. I've not read any of this series, but have read and enjoyed Lovesey's Bertie (Albert Edward, Prince of Wales) short 3-book historical series. Beau Death has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK.

Quote:
A wrecking ball crashes through the roof of a terraced cottage in Bath and exposes a skeleton in eighteenth-century clothes. Can these possibly be the remains of Beau Nash, the so-called King of Bath, whose body is said to have ended up in a pauper's grave?

Peter Diamond, the city's most experienced detective, is ordered to investigate, but grappling with historical events causes ructions in his team until everyone is diverted by a modern killing during a fireworks display on the Royal Crescent lawn.

But Beau Nash refusesto be ignored - and when astonishing new facts emerge about the case, Bath's history is rewritten and mysteries ancient and modern are fused in a devastating climax.
