Claudine Burroughs dreads the holiday season. She feels she has nothing in common with her circle of wealthy, status-minded friends, and the only time sheâ€™s remotely happy is when she is volunteering at a womenâ€™s clinic, a job her husband strongly disapproves of. When Claudine meets a charming poet at a Yuletide gala, her spirits are finally liftedâ€”until he is accused of killing a fellow guest. Believing in his innocence, Claudine vows to do her utmost to help. But it seems that hypocritical London society would rather send an innocent man to the gallows than expose the shocking truth about one of their own.

Jemima Pitt, the daughter of Thomas Pitt, head of Britainâ€™s Special Branch, is crossing the Atlantic for the first time. Her companion, Delphinia Cardew, is to marry in a grand Manhattan affair that will join together two fabulously wealthy families. But a shadow darkens the occasion: Missing from the festivities is Delphiniaâ€™s disgraced motherâ€”and the groomâ€™s charismatic brother has asked Jemima to help him find her and forestall the scandal that will surely follow if the prodigal parent turns up at the wedding. From Hellâ€™s Kitchen to Fifth Avenue, from the LowerÂ East Side to Central Park, Jemima trudges through snowy streets, asking questions but getting few answersâ€”and never suspecting that she is walking into mortal danger.
