As Augusta navigates the labyrinthine alleys and shadowy warehouses of the docks, tensions flare between Scotland Yard and the Port of London police. Suspicions fall on a sea captain, the magnate's ambitious son, and a glamorous hat shop owner with secrets of her own. Meanwhile, Augusta's relationship with Philip Fisher is tested to its limits as a sinister kidnap plot emerges.
In a race against time, Augusta must unravel a web of deceit before the killer claims another victim.
