His investigation uncovers some unsettling facts about the family he served and a strange, second identity that the footman himself cultivated. n nGoing into the boxing clubs and public houses, the Mayfair mansions and servants' quarters of Victorian London, Lenox gradually realizes that an old friend may be implicated in the footman's death. Soon a suspect is arrested, but Lenox has his doubts.
