Description
In Victorian London, a sensational breach-of-promise suit pits the ambitions of wealthy social climbers against the reputation and future of their beautiful daughter, Zillah. When Killian Melville is accused of abandoning his promise to marry her, renowned barrister Oliver Rathbone accepts a case that appears nearly impossible to win. As the courtroom battle exposes questions of class, wealth, desire, and social respectability, Rathbone must look beyond appearances to uncover the truth. Rich in period detail and psychological tension, this gripping courtroom mystery explores how power and reputation can shape the course of justice.
