Alexander offers his assistance-with the Poisoner, and the window-and together they set out to discover the Poisoner's plans. But Lord Alexander has plans of his own. Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all.

If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.

A year earlier, another young woman mysteriously vanished under similar circumstances to Isabelle and was never seen or heard from again. Her body was never found, but police were convinced it was the husband, though they could never prove it. Now, as the search for Isabelle continues, questions begin to surface. Why did her marriage really end? Is Scott telling the truth? And most notably, could there be a correlation to the other disappearance? But if there is, then Scott must be innocent. ... Or perhaps not. Because in this story, nobody is innocent.
