In the refined London enclave of Callander Square, the discovery of two bodies shatters the illusion that privilege can keep violence at bay. With the investigation stalled, Charlotte Pitt—Inspector Thomas Pitt’s well-connected and perceptive wife—quietly begins asking questions of her own, moving between drawing rooms and servants’ quarters.
