A year after Sir Edward Grey's sudden collapse and death, his widow Lady Julia realizes the truth in what Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent, had told her: Sir Edward had received threatening letters.

The most respectable member of her large, eccentric family, Julia starts to shed her Victorian conventionality as she is drawn to the enigmatic Brisbane.
