Imposters investigator Gemma Parks uses her society column to gather information and construct alibis, while architect Graham Wharton applies technical skill to the firm’s cases. Estranged by grief and a broken engagement, they are forced to work together when a child is kidnapped and the ransom demand conceals a more complicated design. Solving the case requires them to revisit the event that separated them and confront the damage caused by secrecy.

The kidnapping case requires Gemma and Graham to use different forms of expertise. Her command of social information exposes motives and relationships, while his understanding of buildings and physical space helps test how the crime was carried out. Their estrangement makes cooperation difficult, but the investigation gradually shows that the same secrecy damaging the case also shaped the loss that separated them.
