Despite their attempts to keep their forbidden romance away from the disapproving eyes of society, Dr Jacob Sandys and his lover, the actress Dora Fitz-Pennington, find themselves drawn into the scandals of the British elite once more when William Wordsworth's prized notebook of unpublished poems goes missing.
When news arrives of a disturbing murder in London - a body pulled from the Thames with a shepherd's crook wedged in the victim's mouth - Dora and Jacob are compelled to investigate.
What links a poet's stolen treasure to a high-society murder? And will Dora and Jacob's love weather the storm, or will dark secrets doom their happiness?
