A MASTERPIECE OF HISTORICAL SUSPENSE AND IMPOSSIBLE CRIME.
In a room full of mirrors, the truth is the only thing you can't see.
London, 1826. The midsummer ball at the sprawling Sterling estate is a spectacle of blinding light and suffocating opulence. But beneath the crystal chandeliers and the cloying scent of melting beeswax, a predator lurks.
Arthur Sterling, the Duke of Westford, is the most powerful man in London-and the most hated. A ruthless orchestrator of ruinous blackmail, he has built his empire on the secrets of the elite. But tonight, his reign ends in a highly engineered nightmare.
THE IMPOSSIBLE CRIME In the heart of the estate's newly renovated wing-a Mirrored Promenade designed to reflect the Duke's unending vanity-the master of the house is found dead. A Damascus steel dagger is buried in his chest at a perfect 45-degree angle. The corridor is a dead-end: no windows, no secret doors, and guarded by armed men. It is a flawlessly constructed architectural box where the killer has seemingly vanished into thin air.
THE DISGRACED SUSPECT Lord Julian Vance, the Viscount of Ashbourne, stands over the body. Ruined by the Duke five years ago and framed for a crime he didn't commit, Julian has lived in the gutters of London, waiting for justice. To the cynical Inspector Thorne, Julian is the perfect killer, settling a public debt with blood.
THE INVISIBLE OBSERVER Miss Clara Linfield is a mere lady's companion-a drab fixture of the architecture, easily ignored. But Clara possesses a brilliant, autodidact mind for mathematics and structural design. While the aristocracy dances, Clara observes the microscopic flaws in the plaster and the impossible double reflections in the glass.
To save the man who once broke her heart, Clara must partner with the disgraced Viscount to dismantle a conspiracy that goes deeper than the estate's foundations
