Chapter One

London, 1863

It was long past midnight , and the windows of all the other houses on Grosvenor Square were dark. But Miss Catherine Hooks had no time for weariness. No matter how long her day had been, her most taxing chore lay ahead of her still.

In this house, the oil lamps lining the hall still burned merrily. Below, the last sounds of the day made their way up the stairwell: the brush of broom against floor, the sharp bark of the housekeeper giving orders, the clink of silver as the butler counted it back into the case.

But there was no slinking back to join her fellow servants. Cat fingered the paper in her hands and continued down the hall.

A door opened ahead. Cat’s breath caught—but it was Mrs. Walters, the cook, who stumbled out. Not him. Mrs. Walters’s face was fixed in a grim smile, a determined grit of teeth that she held long enough to pull the door shut behind her. As soon as she did, all hint of pleasantry slipped away. Her fingers touched her temples; her eyes, somewhat shielded by the graying curls that peeked out from under her white cap, shivered shut.
