Synopsis:
Early nineteenth-century London sees the controversial rise of the practice of Mesmerism. Miss Cordelia Preston, a beautiful, ageing out-of-work actress with disturbing secrets to hide, suddenly emerges as a Lady Phreno-Mesmerist. In her candlelit Bloomsbury basement she finds herself advising young women on marriage and inadvertently, on the matter that most concerns her, revenge. The method works. Popular and rich, her success seems unstoppable. But success is fragile when you have a past filled with secrets and lies. On a twisty moonlit night, a body is found in Bloomsbury Square; in a crowded coroner's court, love, hate, murder and revenge are dissected and, suddenly, erupt before a volcanic scandal as Cordelia's past is revealed, bringing not just her terror and a cloaked figure who stalks her in the dark and shadowy London streets.
