London, 1902.
A girl is found drowned beneath Briar Bridge - her body dressed in white, her name unknown. The papers call her the river bride. The case goes nowhere. And then it gets worse.
Detective Daniel Moore is suspended for a mistake he swears he didn't make. His younger sister, Cathleen, refuses to let it go. Armed with a perfect memory and a habit of asking the wrong questions, she sneaks into the precinct to uncover the truth - and runs straight into Knox Weller, her brother's best friend and a detective who would rather face a firing squad than work with her.
He thinks she's reckless. She thinks he's arrogant. Neither of them plans to investigate the case together - but the more they uncover, the more dangerous it becomes to work alone.
Poison. Lies. Missing girls. A bridge that keeps pulling bodies back from the dark.
Cathleen Holloway was never meant to solve this case.
But she's the only one who can.
