Bow Street Runner Grant Morgan rescues a woman from the Thames who is believed to be notorious courtesan Vivien Duvall, but she remembers neither her identity nor the attack. As Grant investigates, her apparent innocence conflicts with everything London society claims to know about her.
The novel draws on the Bow Street system of magistrates and paid officers that preceded London’s modern police. Georgian criminal justice, celebrity crime reporting and the vulnerability of women outside respectable households shape the mystery, although the investigation and principal characters are fictional.
