Pressed into a union of convenience, Lady Abigail Worthing knew better than to expect love. Her marriage to an absent lord does at least provide some comforts, including a box at the Drury Lane theatre. But on one particular June evening everything collides, and the performance takes an unwelcome turn. Onstage, a woman emits a scream of genuine terror. A man has been found dead in the prop room, stabbed through the heart. The magistrate, keen to avoid bringing more attention to the case asks Abigail not to investigate. But she cannot resist, especially when the usually curmudgeonly Henderson offers his assistance. For Abigail the case is complicated still further, for one suspect is a leading advocate for the cause dearest to her heart - the abolition of slavery within the British empire. Uncovering the truth always comes at a price. But this time, it may be far higher than she wishes to pay.
