London, 1895. Oscar Wilde’s libel action against the Marquess of Queensberry threatens to expose private lives and prominent names in open court. Detective Inspector Percy Enright and Detective Sergeant Jack Enright are ordered to contain information that could implicate members of the political and social establishment in crimes beyond the charge against Wilde.
At the same time, a leading peer disappears, stretching Scotland Yard and raising the possibility that the cases are connected. Esther Enright joins the inquiry and follows the links between theatrical celebrity, blackmail and elite protection, while the family’s official duty to suppress scandal conflicts with the need to investigate a potentially violent crime.
