From the Publisher:
When a man is found murdered on the doorstep of a respectable house in Bedford Square, Victorian England's finest and most controversial policeman, Thomas Pitt, is called immediately to the scene.

He is dismayed to learn that Balantyne can barely recall the evening, let alone account for his movements.
