When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees sex worker Lizzie Hardwicke trade Mrs Farley's Bawdy House in Soho for life as a seamstress at the theatre on Drury Lane, it becomes clear quite quickly that what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than the theatrics being played out onstage.

When a high-profile investor is brutally hanged at centre stage, Lizzie discovers the body and is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector Will Davenport. With the suspect list rivalling any casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she's hidden up her sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the spotlight.
