Victorian London's marriage season turns deadly when a poisoned punch bowl and a dessert leaves two debutantes dead and an innocent girl holding the blame.

Two deaths. One innocent girl. And a poison no one can name.

London, 1890. The Season is in full swing. The wealthy and landed set are mixing and mingling with purpose-marriages to be made, fortunes to be joined, alliances to be secured. Then a punch bowl is poisoned. Then a dessert. Two debutantes die, and a serving girl is blamed.

That serving girl is the daughter of Francine Murphy's closest friend. She is not guilty.

Francine and Doctor Jekyll must move quickly-identifying the mysterious poison, untangling the web of motives, and uncovering not only who is behind the murders, but why. In a world where reputation is everything and truth is inconvenient, finding justice may cost more than they bargained for.

John A. Hoda delivers a gripping Victorian mystery set in the glittering, treacherous world of London's high society-atmospheric, tightly plotted, and driven by a sleuthing partnership that refuses to let the wrong person hang.
