Description

In the privileged London enclave of Brunswick Gardens, a fierce ideological clash erupts between conventional faith and the emerging science of evolution when outspoken feminist Unity Bellwood challenges the household’s respected religious authorities. Her fatal fall down the stairs draws Superintendent Thomas Pitt into a case steeped in theological conflict, family tension, and suspicion. As Pitt and his perceptive wife, Charlotte, investigate, they must determine which of the house’s devout men could have had both motive and opportunity. Set against the changing social landscape of Victorian England, this atmospheric mystery explores belief, progress, gender, and the pursuit of justice.
