In 1876, Nell Lillington is a mother with an unmarried past and a fortune that has made independence possible for the first time. She hopes to secure a good future for her daughter Sarah and a settled life for her friend Tess. Chicago, however, is a complicated place for Nell, since Martin Rutherford, the man she loves, is married to the glamorous and unfaithful Lucetta, and the city is full of people who would like to see her fall. Nell's resolve is tested when Martin is arrested for murder. Determined to save him, she begins spinning a web of half-truths and concealments, and each lie brings new risks for the people she loves. This third novel in the House of Closed Doors series is set among newly arrived immigrants, rich merchants and criminals of a booming city.
