Summary

Set in the same 1880s London society that gave rise to Jack the Ripper, this British detective drama features a fearless, independent heroine. With her inquisitive mind, Miss Eliza Scarlet has always been more interested in running her late father's detective agency than behaving like a proper lady, much to the chagrin of family friend Inspector William Wellington of Scotland Yard, also known as The Duke. But nothing has prepared her for the dangers she is about to face as a woman in the murder investigation trade.
