Amidst the garden parties and romantic afternoons of the Edwardian Era, a sinister plot unfolds in the southeast of England...
Rosamund Haskin is thrilled when her younger sister, Georgiana, forms an attachment with Mr. Jasper Layne, a well-bred and intelligent man working for Scotland Yard. She is not so thrilled, however, when she finds herself continually paired off with Jasper's unsociable colleague, James Merrick. Displeased with Merrick's aloof and haughty behavior, Rosamund looks forward to returning to her job at Ashcroft, a wealthy estate not far from London.

But when mysterious threats targeting the children of her employer are received, Rosamund refuses to believe that they are mere pranks. Reluctantly, she calls on the aid of Mr. Merrick, whose skills as a detective she feels she can depend on - even if she does not care for the man himself.

As the threats continue and are followed with acts of violence, will Merrick's wit be enough to keep the halls of Ashcroft safe?
