A suffragette and a Scotland Yard detective discover more than just murder...

London, 1910

Coral Fairbanks is a suffragette, actress, and artist’s muse, whose suffragette friends help her cope with her husband's death – though some disapprove of the nude portrait of her displayed in the National Portrait Gallery.

Guy Flynn is an artist, widower, and detective at Scotland Yard, who struggles to navigate the conflicting views of his sixteen-year-old daughter and his commanding officer in the Metropolitan Police.

Fairbanks and Flynn find themselves on opposite sides of the law when Home Secretary Winston Churchill orders police to terrorise suffragettes during a protest outside the Houses of Parliament.

But when a suffragette is found murdered in the National Portrait Gallery, they’re forced to combine their knowledge to track down her killer.

This gripping historical mystery set in Edwardian London introduces the iconic detective duo Fairbanks and Flynn.
