A mysterious note, a dead woman, and now her brother’s body lie in the mortuary.
Gemma Tate, an unconventional nurse, is determined to uncover the truth behind her brother’s cryptic message. She turns to troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell, who’s already swamped with the murder of an aristocratic heiress. But the strange clues in her brother’s notebook—like “milky way”—could hold the key.
As the investigation pulls them into the slums of London, far from the safety of the aristocracy, their partnership faces unexpected dangers. Will they uncover the truth before it’s too late?
Or will the dark secrets of the city consume them both?
