London, 1785. When the body of a former West Indies planter is
found outside St Paul's Cathedral, suspicion abounds. But talk is
not only of the man's death. His past brings a tide of fear
directly to Harriet Westerman's door where William Geddings, senior
footman, knows more than he is prepared to confess. In search of
answers, Harriet and her friend, anatomist Gabriel Crowther,
reluctantly explore the dark and destructive world of Britain's
slave trade. And as Harriet must confront an ugly truth close to
home, London's hidden network of slave traders are forced to face
the light. Francis Glass, a former slave, holds the key to their
anonymity and no one can be sure what he plans to do with it. When
some people will risk everything for their reputation, some acts
can never be forgiven.
