Millions of readers adore the work of a New York Times bestselling author who transports them to the vibrant age of Victoria, a time when the wealthy elite sought to amass even greater fortunes. Amidst the opulence, Englishwomen adorned society, while the plight of the poor in London's slums was largely ignored by the aristocracy. However, a shocking murder disrupts this facade of security. On a gray September morning, Thomas Pitt of Her Majesty’s Special Branch is called to a Connaught Square mansion where a junior diplomat's body is discovered in a wheelbarrow. The prime suspect is the beautiful and infamous Egyptian woman, Ayesha Zakhari, who is linked to senior cabinet minister Saville Ryerson. Pitt's orders from Prime Minister Gladstone are clear: protect Ryerson’s reputation at all costs. As Pitt investigates, he uncovers a web of intrigue that spans from Egyptian cotton fields to Manchester mills, revealing the victim's questionable past. With Ayesha and Saville's fates hanging in the balance, the tension escalates in a packed courtroom at the Old Bailey. As the trial unfolds, Pitt races against time to unravel the truth before the hangman’s noose tightens.
