Publisher's Synopsis
1895. Violent political unrest is rising in Europe and England is overrun by reformists wanting to overthrow the government. Inspector Thomas Pitt of the Special Branch must find those responsible. He pursues a suspected terrorist, all the way to France. But Narraway, Pitt's superior at Lisson Grove, is accused of involvement in the death of an Irish informant and is removed from office. This could jeopardise Pitt's career, so his wife, Charlotte, determines to help Narraway clear his name. Charlotte and Narraway depart for Ireland, whilst Pitt is drawn deeper into the investigation in France. Outside forces have conspired to separate them at a crucial time in the country's history - can they make it back to England and stop the revolt before it's too late?
