Set in 1890s London, this Victorian historical mystery follows Isabella Hartwell, a sharp-witted American heiress, as she investigates a murder at Harrods, uncovering hidden debts, secret deals, and dangerous high-society deception. London society may still be deciding what to make of Isabella Hartwell, but Isabella has little interest in conforming to expectations. When she attends an exclusive private event at Harrods, she expects spectacle, gossip, and perhaps a little matchmaking. She does not expect to find a man dead within the store's glittering walls. At first, the killing appears linked to luxury goods and discreet business dealings. But as Isabella investigates, she uncovers concealed debts, secret bargains, and rival ambitions hidden beneath polished counters and respectable smiles. In a world where everything and everyone seems to be assessed for value, murder may be the price of keeping ruin out of sight. With suspicion spreading through drawing rooms, showrooms, and back corridors alike, Isabella must discover who wanted the victim silenced before the killer turns their attention to her.
