This case was a strange one; Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle was investigating what appeared to be an "admonishment" murder-a lower-level player in a turf war had been murdered to serve as a warning by a rival gang. But the whole point of an admonishment-murder was to send a message, and in this case, it was unclear who was sending it, or even to whom it was being sent. And they'd another problem, in that Scotland Yard couldn't even seem to come up with a cause of death. . .

Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle was almost certain they were dealing with a vigilante, in these seemingly-unrelated murders. Each of the victims had been killed in the quiet confines of a London park, and each time, the victim was someone who'd been suspected of an earlier murder, but who'd managed to get off, for one reason or another. So; who was making certain that justice was meted out, even if a bit belatedly? Meanwhile, Acton seemed to be drinking a great deal, and dropping hints that they should visit his ancestral estate-it was almost more than a body could bear, on top of everything else. Lucky, it was, that he'd never found out about how she'd been attacked, in the projects; after all, Acton was something of a vigilante, himself.

It was regrettable, that Kanika of Kerala would have experienced such bad luck, despite being a prized bride. First, the Nizam of Bengal had died, leaving her a wealthy widow, and now-now it seemed that the British East India Company was going to interfere with her next marriage, to one of the powerful Hongs of Canton. The Company was concerned, it seemed, about her motive for these alliances, and the potential effect she might have on their lucrative opium trade. As for Kanika, she was also concerned-only she was concerned about the British Commander's effect on her plans. The more she reminded herself that they were impossibly at odds, the more she was drawn to him. It was a shame, that he was fated to be unlucky, too.

The much-anticipated homicide trial for the fentanyl murders was going forward, but Doyle couldn’t shake the feeling that they’d overlooked an important suspect, along the way.It may have been because Acton was being more secretive than his usual, and was taking great pains to keep his wedded wife away from the trial, and away from the evidence, which would be presented.Or, it may have been because there’d been a string of arson fires, which appeared to be related to the fentanyl case.Regardless, it seemed that it would be left to the fair Doyle, to try to piece together who’d really killed the popular MP—so long as she could do it between breast-feedings, a cheeky toddler, and having to deal with a missing nanny.
