Charles and Alexander Cambridge are sons of an earl with all the wealth and privilege a well-bred young lady who needs to find a husband might wish for - but the older brother Charles has returned from the Boer Wars with a terrible limp - and a temper to match it. The blonde, handsome Alexander Cambridge seems the better choice for Lady Alicia Neville, but there is something not quite right about him. Be it gambling debts or a hidden mistress, she knows he is hiding a secret, and turns to Charles as the better man. Set in London in 1901, it is a rapidly evolving world of electric lights, telephones, automobiles and that hallmark of the modern era - indoor plumbing. London is also rife with dark alleys and bodies floating in the Thames, and when there is a murder of a Cambridge family member, Alicia wonders if one of the brothers is capable of it. When the next murder occurs, she is convinced it is one of them.
