for MIRIAM GARDINER, attending a party at the London home of her fiancé, Lucius Stourbridge, to celebrate their forthcoming marriage, it should have been one of the happiest days of her life. But, after making a sudden exit from the party, Miriam disappears without a trace.
Reluctant to cause a scandal, Lucius seeks out William Monk, a detective with a reputation for excellence, and tells him that the only lead concerns their coachman, Treadwell, who is also missing. Monk, not usually a sentimental man, is moved by Lucius's distress, and assumes that his recent marriage to Hester Latterly is to blame.
When Treadwell's murdered body is found, Monk becomes convinced that his death is linked to a terrible secret in Miriam's past that someone, desperate to prevent it being revealed, has killed for, and may well do so again, unless he can stop them.
