    • Londra, 1864. L'ultimo treno della notte arriva alla stazione sotterranea di Baker Street e all'interno si trova il cadavere di una giovane. Al parecer, è stata strangolata e abbandonata in un vagone di seconda classe. Di fronte a questo brutale omicidio, interviene l'ispettore Decimus Webb, che rapidamente inizia a muoversi per i sobborghi di Londra in cerca di indizi. Le sue indagini lo portano al Rifugio Holborn per Donne Penitenti, una sorta di ospizio dove si trova la madre malata di Clara White, una delle servitrici della famiglia Harris. E proprio attorno a questa apparentemente umile lavoratrice, Webb scopre una complessa rete di segreti e intrighi che sembrano espandersi sottoterra, nel labirinto di tunnel della metropolitana londinese. Per risolvere l'omicidio nel treno, l'ispettore dovrà prima capire chi è realmente Clara: una possibile vittima o la sospettata numero uno?
