England, 1812. Antony Pennington is murdered after leaving a cryptic message connected to the Hellfire Caves. His relative Dora Fitz-Pennington refuses to accept the official assumptions and joins physician and former army surgeon Dr Jacob Sandys in tracing the symbol and code he left behind.
Their inquiry reaches secret clubs, opium use and an alleged Illuminati conspiracy among members of the Regency elite. Dora and Jacob must decide whether their reluctant attraction can survive an investigation in which family standing, political influence and occult spectacle are all used to obstruct the truth.
