1761, London. The famous magistrate John Fielding is one of several gathered at St James's Palace to be honoured with a knighthood. As the audience eagerly cranes for a glimpse of the new queen-- widely rumored to be the ugliest the country has ever seen-- a terrible accident occurs: nobleman George Goward tumbles down the great staircase to his death. Not one person saw him begin to fall, even those standing closest. The blind John Fielding was the only one to notice anything untoward. A whispered sentence, an exhalation of breath-- these are the only clues available to suggest that this was no accident. Apothecary John Rawlings, accompanying his friend Fielding to the ceremony, sets out to investigate.

The spring of 1765 brings a welcome sense of recovery to the recently widowed Apothecary John Rawlings, but his tentative peace of mind does not last for long: a young child disappears in strange circumstances at the Hellstone Floral Dance and a seemingly omnipresent blind musician is never far away.

"Apothecary John Rawlings has travelled to Devon to be by the side of his mistress, Elizabeth di Lorenzi, who is due to give birth to their child. Leaving his shop--and his new carbonated water business--in good hands, John is presented with a surprise on his arrival at Sidmouth House. While Elizabeth is recuperating, he learns that Lady Sidmouth's daughter, Miranda, is to marry the Earl of St Austell, who is fifty-two years her senior. The Earl has a cruel reputation and John feels that no good will come of this unlikely match. As the wedding day approaches, John feels increasingly uneasy, and he is especially mindful of a vision his daughter, Rose, had about an evil old woman who may do him harm. Before too long John's fears are confirmed, and he soon finds himself at the centre of a murderous plot that must be unravelled..."--P. [2] of jacket.
