Murder. Vengeance. <p/>Tabitha Hart earns a scandalous living in London, with whichever gentleman has enough coin for her company.

However, she is greeted by the news that her mother has died in disturbing circumstances. <p/>Finding cryptic notes in her mother's almanack, Tabitha is determined to discover the truth, but the superstitious villagers are wary of her. Only the enigmatic Nat Starling is prepared to join her, as she sets out to uncover her mother's killer.
