When the body of a wealthy widow is found in the neglected graveyard of St Anne's Church, Soho, Emma Langley and Penny Green soon discover her respectable façade concealed a web of bitter enemies.

But as anonymous threatening letters arrive warning them to abandon their investigation, the friends realise they're hunting someone who will kill again to protect their secret. In the shadow-filled streets of Victorian London, can Emma and Penny expose the murderer before they become the next victims? An atmospheric Victorian mystery that takes you from the crumbling graveyards of Soho to the grand squares of Belgravia - and will keep you reading late into the night.
