A junior diplomat is found dead in a wheelbarrow in the garden of Ayesha Zakhari, an Egyptian woman whose relationship with cabinet minister Saville Ryerson has already attracted gossip. Special Branch orders Thomas Pitt to protect Ryerson’s reputation while determining whether Ayesha is a murderer or a convenient suspect.

The investigation leads from government drawing rooms and London’s Seven Dials district to questions about British power in Egypt and the cotton trade. Pitt must expose the political interests behind the killing without allowing the state’s demand for secrecy to decide guilt in advance.
