Colin Pendragon has been requested by Lady Arnifour to investigate the
bludgeoning of her husband and niece, which has left him dead and her in
a coma. Attending the Arnifour home, and the scene of the crime,
Pendragon finds that he really isn't getting much in the way of
cooperation.
Ethan Pruitt, Pendragon's partner, takes on the case of a young, poor
lad whose sister has gone missing. However, Pruitt is unsure if the lad
is just what he appears to be. Pendragon agrees. He sees some form of
deception in both cases, but is unsure just what they are.
Things change when the niece dies and one of the best suspects
disappears. The pair also finds out that young girls are being smuggled
out of the country. Two families who are fated to twist themselves
into terrible knots in this Victorian murder mystery by Gregory Harris.
A fair, quick read.
