London, 1890. The biting fog of the Thames hides more than just the cobblestones of Mayfair. When the Rt. Hon. Reginald Finch-Hampton is found murdered in his locked study within the hallowed halls of Parliament; the Yard is baffled. The only clue: a telegram written in startling crimson ink and a faint, oily smudge on the victim’s lapel.
Enter Charles W. Radcliff III-an amateur detective of immense intellect, peculiar habits, and a preference for Earl Grey over police procedure. Alongside his loyal but perpetually flustered assistant, Daniel Pickering, Radcliff is pulled from his reclusive life into a web of industrial espionage that stretches from the grimy London docks to the treacherous coal mines of Wales.
As Radcliff squares off against the charismatic and ruthless MP Alistair Thorne, he discovers a conspiracy involving a mysterious chemical agent and a stolen Highland amethyst. With a government on the brink of scandal and an industry targeted for destruction, Radcliff must use every ounce of his deductive brilliance to unmask the “Serpent in the Senate” before the shadows of the smoke consume them all.
