London, 1892. A young woman is found dead on a railway line, and the first assumption is suicide. Detective Inspector Jack Enright and his uncle Percy uncover her true identity, however, and discover that her death is connected to a respectable family determined to keep its history private.
Evidence of murder lies behind domestic secrecy rather than street crime, leaving the detectives unable to proceed openly. Esther Enright enters the household under an assumed role, where she must gain the family’s confidence and expose the relationships that led to the victim’s death without revealing the investigation too soon.
