A tale of greed, ambition and thwarted love in eighteenth-century
Leeds On a hot summer morning, Richard Nottingham, Constable of
Leeds, is called out when a young woman is found stabbed to death
among the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, just outside the city. In her
pocket is a carefully-folded love note: "Soon we'll be together and
our hearts can sing loud, my love, W." Her pale skin and smooth
hands speak of money, but no one comes to claim her body. When the
victim's husband eventually appears, his evidence throws up more
questions than answers. What happened to the maid who accompanied
her mistress on her final, fatal journey? Who is the mysterious 'W'
who signed the note? And why does the victim's father seem so
indifferent to her death? Nottingham has to delve into the dark
secrets of the rich and influential to uncover the truth.
