The world is poised for social and political change, but England holds tight to its traditions, classes, and prejudices.<br>&nbsp;<br>When an explosion in London kills two policemen and seriously injures three more, many believe that anarchists are the culprits. But Thomas Pitt, commander of Special Branch, knows the cityâEuros radical groups well enough to suspect otherwise: that someone with decidedly more personal motives lit the deadly fuse. As he investigates the source of the fatal blast, heâEuros stunned to discover the bombing was a calculated strike against the ranks of law enforcement.<br>&nbsp;<br>But still more shocking revelations await, as PittâEuros inquiries lead him to a member of Parliament hoping for a lucrative business deal, a high-ranking police officer with secrets to keep, and an aristocratic opium addict seeking murderous revenge.
