Murders just don't happen in fashionable areas like Callander Square-but these two have. The police are totally baffled. Pretty, young Charlotte Ellison Pitt, however, is curious.
Inspector Pitt's well-bred wife doesn't often meddle in her husband's business, but something about this case intrigues her-to the point that staid Charlotte Pitt is suddenly rattling the closets of the very rich, seeking out backstairs gossip that would shock a barmaid, and unearthing truths that could push even the most proper aristocrat to murder.
