At the gambling hell next door to the Araby music hall, Detective Inspector Gabriel Hart finds a body slumped over a bloody card table and a poker hand that points to Sylvan Dellamort. When Inspector Nickel discovers another dead man in the alley and Dellamort's Derringer on the ground beside it, he pushes to make the easy arrest. After a year of scandal, everything is going swimmingly for Kate Dellamort, aka Lady Jack Penrowan, in her campaign to rehabilitate the family reputation. At her upcoming garden party, she hopes to convince the headmaster of Harrow to put her son down for the school. But none of that matters when her beloved cousin Sylvie is suspected of murder--and even he thinks he might be guilty!
