When Theodosia's faced with a life of poverty, she's forced to agree to nurse an aged relative she doesn't know. But travelling to the wilds of Cumbria plunges her into the middle of an adventure that threatens her life, her reputation, and turns her world upside down.
Silas is sure that he's got the right woman. The young woman sitting opposite him on the public carriage certainly matches the description of the notorious London madam he's hunting. But when someone tries to murder Theodosia, Silas is torn between his need for the truth and his reluctance to sit back and allow her to die.
What neither of them expect is for the killer to target them both, or for the killer to be so close.
