Sally Lockhart, trying to put her troubled past behind her after her fiancé 's death, has settled into a comfortable life with her daughter, Harriet, her career, and her London friends.

Seeking the answers to this terrible dilemma, Sally realizes with growing horror that there is a guiding hand behind all this deceit; someone who hates her so passionately that he has devoted years to bringing about her ruin. She has no choice but to escape with her child into the crime-ridden slums of London's East End. Suddenly it isn't only Sally's reputation that is in danger.
