After the violent murder of three policemen in the line of duty, tensions between London constabulary and Whitechapel anarchists simmer. Meanwhile accusations and counter accusations of espionage further weaken relations between Germany and Britain. When Fox asks Margaret to help with a mission, she can’t wait to assist.
But enquiries in wealthy Hampstead, and assaults in Whitechapel backstreets lead to genteel Glassmakers Lane. How can a place where a moving picture studio is the only thing of interest be important? And is the death of a young woman Margaret can’t forget a critical link or a coincidental irrelevance?
How can Margaret persuade Fox to stop protecting her so that she can ask the questions he can’t? And how can they discover is behind the threat to London when it’s not entirely clear what the threat actually is?
