Description
Caroline Corsham's life is already complicated by her husband's absence from home. But when she finds a woman mortally wounded in the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, her anxiety turns to determination. As the Bow Street constables seem more interested in ignoring the case than solving it, Caroline sets out to uncover the truth herself. With the help of Peregrine Child, a thieftaker with knowledge of London's hidden corners, their investigation delves into the city's complex web of artifice and deception. But as they dig deeper, they encounter men who will not speak about their dealings with the dead woman, and Caroline's own reputation is put at risk. As the stakes grow higher, Caroline must navigate a treacherous world where justice is not always served, and the line between right and wrong is constantly blurred.
