“For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known.” Luke 12:2

The mysterious death of her father leaves Miss Gillian Young with questions that refuse to stay buried.Though she remembers him as an honorable member of the Police Force, she uncovers clues that tell a different story: a mysterious photograph of an unknown woman, evidence of secret railway journeys, and a receipt for an inexplicable sum of money. When his former police partner suggests her father had been leading a double life, Gillian’s world unravels.

Her new position as principal costume designer at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, offers a welcome distraction, as does the dashing Viscount Thomas Lockwood. Their attraction is instant and inescapable. But even as their romantic involvement deepens, whispers reach her ears that shake her growing trust. Could Lockwood or men like him be connected to her father’s death, as her friend darkly hints?

Soon, Gillian is convinced that her father has left evidence somewhere proving his innocence and revealing the guilty party. The closer she comes to uncovering it, the more menacing her opposition becomes. Gillian takes on an ingenious disguise and assumes the role of a lifetime to reveal the true killer—before it’s too late for both her and those she loves.
