Description:
London, 1679
Isabel, Lady Wilde, mistress of King Charles II, has made a good living
disguised as fortune teller Mistress Ruby, counseling London’s elite.
But after the murder of one of her customers, business has taken a
downturn, and Isabel is on the verge of accepting the king’s offer to
move into the palace.
Isabel’s plans are interrupted when a beggar girl named Susanna shows up
at her home, claiming to be her niece. Isabel always believed that her
older brother, Adam, died alone during the plague. When Susanna reveals
that Adam was actually murdered, Isabel is compelled to take up an
impossible task: discover the truth about her brother’s death, twelve
years after it happened.
Isabel’s investigation leads her through the gamut of London society,
from bear-baiting matches and brothels to the realm of wealthy bankers.
But as she uncovers her brother’s dark secrets, Isabel begins to wonder
whether the past is better left buried—especially when uncovering the
truth could lead to her own funeral.
