London, 1910.

When the celebrated actress Celeste Marlowe collapses on stage during her final performance, all of Edwardian society gasps. The official verdict: a tragic accident. But Lady Molly Robertson-Kirk, the Yard's newest-and only-female detective, suspects murder.

Armed with intuition, intelligence, and her loyal maid Mary Granard, Lady Molly must navigate smoky theatres, gilded drawing rooms, and tea-scented parlours to uncover a truth hidden behind velvet curtains and polite lies.

As secrets unravel, so too does Molly's faith in justice-and in herself. But from the embers of doubt will rise the sharp mind and fierce heart that make her a legend.

Perfect for readers who love Agatha Christie, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, or Enola Holmes, this elegant Edwardian mystery blends charm, suspense, and the birth of a woman detective's destiny.
