Fresh from her adventures abroad, Victorian widow Lucy Lawrence returns to London, eager to start a new chapter. Her world is rocked when an assassin's bullet strikes her new fiancé. As he lies gravely injured, Lucy vows to unmask the culprit . . .

London, 1888. When a brutal murder occurs at her engagement party, Lucy Lawrence finds herself pulled into a new investigation. All evidence points to a mysterious syndicate of thieves known only by a cryptic calling card left at their crimes: Apollo. With the police eager to pin the murder on an easy target, Lucy and Phineas Stone must unravel a tangled web of lies and misdirection to uncover the truth before the case ruins them.

From glittering Mayfair ballrooms to the deadly rookeries of London's East End to a remote Scottish island, they follow the trail of secrets and deception. As the danger mounts, Lucy realizes the key to solving the case might lie in a simple painting.

A cunning adversary is intent on destroying all who learn their secrets . . . can Lucy save the man she loves, and expose a deadly killer before it's too late?

An atmospheric Victorian mystery brimming with suspense, passion, and plot twists!
