Description

A fatal shooting. A mysterious locket. A dangerous truth.

London,1889: When a young labourer working on the construction of Tower Bridge is found fatally injured by Traitor's Gate, Scotland Yard turns to amateur detectives Emma Langley and Penny Green for help. Archie Mitchell survives long enough to reach hospital, but takes his secrets to the grave.

As Emma and Penny investigate, they uncover a web of suspicious characters: the barmaid who discovered Archie's body, a fellow worker bearing a grudge from a bridge accident, and a local ruffian whose girlfriend recently drowned in the Thames. But when they discover Archie possessed a valuable locket—the case takes an unexpected turn.

Was Archie murdered to silence what he witnessed by the riverside? Or did his knowledge of aristocratic secrets seal his fate? With the great Tower Bridge rising in the background, Emma and Penny must navigate the dangerous currents between London's working poor and its privileged elite to catch a killer.
