A novel of deadly obsession returns to Victorian London, as the author of the New York Times bestseller The Girl Who Knew Too Much comes back with a gripping tale. In the exclusive "introduction" agency she operates in Victorian London, Calista Langley caters to respectable ladies and gentlemen who find themselves alone in the world. But now, a dangerously obsessed individual has begun sending her trinkets and gifts suitable only for those in deepest mourning—a black mirror, a funeral wreath, a ring set with black jet stone, each engraved with her initials.
Desperate for help and fearing that the police will be of no assistance, Calista turns to Trent Hastings, a reclusive author of popular crime novels. Believing that Calista may be taking advantage of his lonely sister, who has become one of her clients, Trent doesn't trust her. Scarred by his past, he's learned to keep his emotions at bay, even as an instant attraction threatens his resolve.
As Trent and Calista comb through files of rejected clients in hopes of identifying her tormentor, it becomes clear that the danger may be coming from Calista's own secret past—and that only her death will satisfy the stalker. Desperate to uncover the truth and stop the obsessed individual before it's too late, Trent and Calista must risk everything to confront the darkness that threatens to consume them both.
With the chilling atmosphere of Victorian London as the backdrop, this gripping novel explores the depths of human obsession and the lengths one will go to in pursuit of a twisted agenda. The author masterfully weaves a tale of suspense, romance, and the power of the past to shape the present, leaving readers on the edge of their seats until the final, shocking conclusion.
Fans of the author's previous work will be captivated by this return to the Victorian era, while new readers will be drawn into the captivating world of Calista and Trent's fight against a deadly stalker. A must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling, atmospheric mystery with a touch of romance, this novel is sure to leave a lasting impression.
