Thornleigh Hall, seat of the Earl of Sussex, dominates its surroundings. Impulsive Harriet Westerman has felt the Hall's menace long before she happens upon a dead man bearing the Thornleigh arms. 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.
That same day, Alexander Adams is killed in a London music shop, leaving his young children orphaned. 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. His death will lead back to Sussex, and an explosive secret that has already destroyed one family and threatens many others.
