"In this enthralling mystery, detective Charles Lenox tries to
resist the lure of a case and focus on his new career in
Parliament. "
Returning from a continental honeymoon with his new wife, Lady
Jane, Lenox is asked by a colleague in Parliament to consult in the
murder of a footman, bludgeoned to death with a brick. His
investigation uncovers some unsettling facts about the family he
served and a strange, second identity that the footman himself
cultivated.
Going into the boxing clubs and public houses, the Mayfair
mansions and servants' quarters of Victorian London, Lenox
gradually realizes that an old friend may be implicated in the
footman's death. Soon a suspect is arrested, but Lenox has his
doubts. Desperately trying to balance the opening of Parliament and
what he feels sure is a dark secret surrounding the murder, he soon
discovers that the killer is someone seemingly beyond suspicion,
and may be prepared to spill blood again--even a detective's.
