Thornleigh Hall seat of the Earl of Sussex dominates its surroundings. Its heir is missing and the once vigorous family is reduced to a cripple his whore and his alcoholic second son but its power endures.
Impulsive Harriet Westerman has felt the Hall's menace long before she happens upon a dead man bearing the Thornleigh arms. The grim discovery cries out for justice and she persuades reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther to her cause much against his better judgement; he knows a dark path lies before those who stray from society's expectations. That same day Alexander Adams is killed in a London music shop leaving his young children orphaned. His death will lead back to Sussex and an explosive secret that has already destroyed one family and threatens many others.
