Publisher's Synopsis
Euphemia, the disowned granddaughter of an Earl, is working as a housekeeper for Bertram Stapleford at his new property, when the dramatic collapse of the kitchen floor sends her back to where it all began, Stapleford House. A visiting mystic disrupts the Staplefords. Euphemia finds herself playing second fiddle to Bertram's new love, Beatrice Wilton, as she launches a project to investigate the new asylums. It is not long before she realizes that not only does Beatrice have her unscrupulous sights set on Bertram, but that her enterprises may be about to put them all in very great danger.
