Hero Jarvis survives an attack on a refuge for women in which eight residents are murdered and the building is set alight. Convinced the authorities intend to dismiss the dead as expendable, she asks Sebastian to help identify the attackers and the woman they were determined to silence.

Their investigation moves from the East End and London's sex trade to wealthy Mayfair households. As Hero and Sebastian uncover the victim's hidden identity, they discover that the massacre protects a political secret with consequences reaching into the highest levels of government.
