Outside the garden walls of her new property, Claire's best friend, Sally, is found stabbed to death. Claire is determined to find a motive for this heinous crime. She finds herself drawn into a dangerous scientific trip that takes her from Jack the Ripper's claustrophobic Whitechapel to the India of her newly discovered ancestors and the paradise valleys of Tibet.
