Description
As the American Civil War erupts, investigator William Monk and his wife, Hester, attend a dinner hosted by a wealthy London arms dealer whose profitable business is entangled with the conflict overseas. When murder, disappearances, and a vanished shipment of weapons shatter the gathering, Monk and Hester are drawn into a perilous investigation that reaches from Victorian London to war-torn America. Their pursuit forces them to confront divided loyalties, the moral corruption of the arms trade, and the brutal human cost of slavery. Combining meticulous historical detail with a tense, twist-filled mystery, the novel delivers a compelling portrait of conscience and obsession amid a nation at war.
