Description
Thomas Pitt is a detective with a strong sense of principle. In 1896, he's in charge of Special Branch and is beginning to understand the power that comes with his position. However, he still feels uneasy at social events where he and his wife Charlotte are expected to attend. A party at the Spanish Embassy sets off a chain of events when a policeman breaks into Pitt's conversation to reveal that Catherine Quixwood, Rawdon Quixwood's wife, has been brutally assaulted at their home. The investigation that follows reveals that Catherine was attacked by someone she trusted, and this incident is soon followed by another tragic event: Angeles Castelbranco, an ambassador's daughter, falls from a window in terror. As Pitt and his friend Victor Narraway delve into the unspoken truth behind these two women's deaths, they uncover a web of deception and violence that puts them in grave danger.
