An atmospheric historical crime thriller from the fog-shrouded London of 1888
Some secrets follow us across oceans and decades...
In fog-shrouded London of 1888, high-ranking members of British society are being mysteriously murdered-each with a strange symbol carved into their palm.
Dr. Malcolm Thorne, a brilliant forensic specialist with a mysterious past in India, is called in by Scotland Yard to assist with the investigation. As a former military doctor, he has seen the dark sides of the British Empire with his own eyes and carries a heavy burden of guilt.
When the spirited journalist Eleanor Bennett intrudes upon the case, Thorne recognizes in her not only an ally but also a woman who threatens to uncover his deepest secrets. Together, they reveal a shocking connection between the murders and a long-forgotten massacre in distant India-the massacre of Kalipuram.
The trail leads them through London's elegant salons and dark alleys, from the mysterious Indian quarter to the exclusive gentlemen's clubs of the British elite. As the bodies pile up and the symbol appears more frequently, Thorne and Eleanor become entangled in a deadly web of revenge, colonial injustice, and forbidden love.
But as they draw closer to the mysterious perpetrator, their own pasts also threaten to catch up with them...
