This is a gripping Victorian-era detective story set in London. When a mysterious woman is found murdered in a boarding house, Inspector Absalom Gebb of Scotland Yard takes on the case. With the assistance of former detective Simon Parge, Gebb must piece together the victim's identity and uncover the motive for the crime. As Gebb delves deeper into the investigation, he suspects that the murder may be premeditated and linked to a brutal killing that took place years ago at Kirkstone Hall.
