In the heart of Victorian London, where gas lamps flicker through the dense evening fog and the clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages echoes along cobblestone streets, mysteries often lurk in the shadows. It is in this enigmatic setting that we find ourselves entwined with the lives of two astute young detectives, Jim Weston and Gerard McAllister. Their keen intellects and insatiable curiosity have led them to confront the most perplexing enigmas of their time. In this, their sixth chronicle, our protagonists are drawn into a case that strikes at the very heart of London's societal elite. Mrs. Francine Alley, the esteemed wife of a prominent minister, has vanished under circumstances as baffling as they are alarming.
