About this audiobook
The first original novel inspired by the hit MASTERPIECE® Mystery! series Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
At the height of Victorian "Egyptian Mummymania," when illusion and obsession captivate London society, a discovery defies all reason—the body of a recently murdered woman found inside a sarcophagus sealed for thousands of years.
For Eliza Scarlet, the case offers a chance to prove herself once again in a world that continues to underestimate her, but as she delves deeper, she uncovers a troubling pattern—women vanishing, lives dismissed, and a mystery that reaches further than anyone is willing to admit. At its center is a name spoken in whispers: Jebediah Griffin.
As Eliza follows the truth into increasingly perilous territory, Detective Inspector William Wellington is never far behind. He is bound to her by loyalty, by history…and by something neither of them is willing to face. Each step deeper into the case tests not only their resolve, but the fragile line between partnership and something more.
