On the eve of the Victorian era, London has a new sleuth
. . . In the winter of 1835, young Charles Dickens is a
journalist on the rise at the Evening Chronicle. Invited
to dinner at the estate of the newspaper's co-editor,
Charles is smitten with his boss's daughter, vivacious
nineteen-year-old Kate Hogarth. They are having the best
of times when a scream shatters the pleasant evening.
Charles, Kate, and her father rush to the neighbors'
home, where Miss Christiana Lugoson lies unconscious on
the floor. By morning, the poor young woman will be dead. When Charles hears from a colleague of a very similar
mysterious death a year ago to the date, also a young
woman, he begins to suspect poisoning and feels compelled
to investigate. The lovely Kate offers to help—using her
social position to gain access to the members of the
upper crust, now suspects in a murder. If Charles can
find justice for the victims, it will be a far, far
better thing than he has ever done. But with a twist or
two in this most peculiar case, he and Kate may be in for
the worst of times . . .
