When she stumbles upon the body of her neighbor Stapleton Hendersons wife, Lady Abigail Worthing, expecting to be under suspicion due to her skin color and her mother's notorious past, teams up with Henderson and together they dive into the treacherous waters of London's high society to find the truth. Lady Abigail Worthing discovers a body on her property: the victim is Juliet, the wife of her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. She expects to be under suspicion: Abigail's skin color and her mother's notorious past have earned her a certain reputation among the town, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it.
