A Victorian mystery set in Edinburgh's darkest corners, where a woman with a hidden gift returns to the streets that raised her-and finds murder waiting.
She escaped once. Now she's come back to uncover the truth. But the past isn't finished with her yet.
Old Town Edinburgh is a place Lily Montgomery knows too well. She survived the Foundling Hospital where she was abandoned as an infant, then the brothel they called 'The Church, ' where women sold themselves to survive. She escaped those streets. She built a new life in London.
Now she's returned to learn the truth about her real family-only to find her oldest friend brutally murdered.
Lily has seen death before. On Edinburgh's streets as a child. In the inquiry cases she assisted with in London. But this death she cannot walk away from. Her friend protected her when no one else would. She owes her justice.
James Munro has followed Lily to Edinburgh, determined to escort her back to London. What he finds is not the stubborn girl he knew, but a formidable woman with a mind of her own-and no intention of leaving until the killer is found.
As shadows from Lily's past close in and a gift she barely understands begins to surface, she and Munro must find a way to work together before the murderer silences the one person determined to expose the crime-and buries Lily's secrets forever.
