}}

The fourth book in the series of mysteries which star Detective William Murdoch is set, like the others, in Toronto. Religion, money and family rule this late-Victorian city just as they do back 'home' in England, and Murdoch's struggles for truth and justice, not to mention his love life, are played out against the sense of guilt and the moral restrictions imposed upon him by his Catholic faith.

All good novels should stand alone, and this one is no exception. However, the character of Murdoch is an intriguing one, well outside the usual run of detectives, so it would be worth the reader's while to investigate [[Except the Dying: Murdoch Mysteries by Maureen Jennings|Except the Dying]] and [[Under the Dragon's Tail: Murdoch Mysteries by Maureen Jennings|Under the Dragon's Tail]] by the same author.
