"Superb . . . Lovers of British historical mysteries with a touch of romance and gothic ambiance will be eager for more" - Publishers Weekly Starred Review
London, 1908. The Fitzglens are renowned for being one of London's top theatre families. However, they also have a discreet side profession - thievery. Jack Fitzglen's latest scheme involves locating the elusive Talisman Chalice, stealing it, and crafting a spectacular theatrical production around it. His journey takes him to Vallow Hall in Northumberland in search of the enigmatic Maude, the last known connection to the Chalice. But what he discovers is much more ominous. Scandal, secrets, and peril lurk in every shadowy corner. Could it be that the legend of the Chalice holds truth: that in the wrong hands, it ensnares a person in an inescapable darkness?
As the past collides with the present, will Jack be able to find the Chalice, uncover the truth, and make it back to his theatre of thieves unscathed?
