The chill of winter has descended on London. But for Sebastian Bell and Gemma Tate, there will be little cheer this season...
Gemma Tate has a new job and a new address. She is putting her past - her memories of nursing in the Crimean war - behind her. But when Jacob Harrow, a journalist with ties to Crimea, is found brutally killed, Gemma is pulled into the investigation.
Police inspector Sebastian Bell works alone. But when all signs point toward a dark secret Harrow brought back from the war, he realizes he needs Gemma's help to untangle the mystery. But raking up the past has devastating consequences when Gemma's friend, another nurse from Crimea, is found murdered in her boarding house...
As dark betrayals come tumbling out, Gemma and Sebastian are on a dangerous race to uncover the truth. But in her determination to solve the case, could one rash act by Gemma place her next in the killer's sights...?
The second addictive and atmospheric Tate and Bell mystery is perfect for fans of Andrea Penrose, the Lady Sherlock mysteries, and Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
