About the book
To save an innocent man’s life, amateur sleuth and cook Kat Holloway must expose a financial scam that could ruin the most powerful aristocrats in Victorian-era London, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret of Bow Lane.
Kat Holloway is deeply troubled to find out that Samuel Millburn, the husband of the woman who takes care of her daughter, has been accused of stealing money from the bank where he is employed as a clerk. The allegation is baseless, and Samuel's wife is worried that he could lose his job and end up in jail. Determined to uncover the truth, Kat makes a promise to herself.
As she delves deeper into the matter, Kat realizes that the bank is involved in some shady business dealings. She understands that she is stepping into dangerous territory. Seeking help from her trusted confidante and charming suitor, Daniel McAdam, Kat sets out to clear Samuel's name. In order to prove his innocence, Kat and Daniel might have to reveal unsavory financial transactions involving powerful aristocrats, government officials, and even individuals plotting against the monarchy.
Kat is willing to put everything on the line to defend the man who has made significant sacrifices for her daughter, even if it means putting herself and her dear friends at risk.
