But O'Rorke is soon enmeshed in the secrets of the past involving the chaos of the Crimean War thirty-four years previously and the murderous activities of the young revolutionaries who called themselves the Society of the White Rose. The dramatic events of those days shaped the lives and determined the fates of all who survived and now, the Society of the White Rose, more powerful than ever, is led by two of O'Rorke's most unforgiving and ruthless enemies. Bogdan Lynskey and Count Zoltan Bathory have returned to London not only to assassinate the Austrian General Carl-Heinz Lorenz but to finally destroy O'Rorke himself. As O'Rorke tries to focus on the task at hand, whispers from the past grow louder, the circles of intrigue continue to swirl and alliances splinter, leading him to distrust even those who seem to be his closest colleagues. With danger now threatening his very household, O'Rorke's longed-for return to New Zealand becomes increasingly urgent. In this, the eighth volume in the Detective Inspector O'Rorke series, it is the summer of 1888. As O'Rorke prepares to leave London to return to New Zealand, Crimean War 'ghosts' of both friends and enemies materialise and as circles of intrigue and terror spread, O'Rorke begins to distrust even his closest allies.
