After a decade of not knowing the truth behind their detective fathers' deaths, Colby Redd and Scarlet Black unlock the dusty mysteries of their past.
In 1880 Bath, England, Scarlet Black and Colby Redd depart from their quiet lives to finally find out why their famous detective fathers went to the lumberyard where they died in a horrific fire ten years ago. Despite conflicted motivations, they each desire to sort out the root of this mystery.
In long afternoons crowded around dusty boxes, the two dig up their own convoluted histories as well as new mysteries. Tattered books and crumpled papers tell them about illegitimate children, arson, forgery, and riots. Using their genetic predispositions to solving crime, Scarlet and Colby force themselves into a world all others wondered if they would join. Under the cautious stares of Scarlet's mother and her socialite friends, the two risk social standing and reputation all for a once seemingly simple truth.
The quest for one answer leads to a room filled with questions.
