Táto séria vás zavedie do sveta starých sídiel a rodinných tajomstiev. Sledujte osudy postáv, ktoré sa potýkajú s rozpadajúcimi sa manželstvami, stratenými majetkami a skrytými minulosťami. Každý príbeh ponúka napínavé odhaľovanie pravdy ukrytej pod povrchom zdanlivo pokojného života na anglickom vidieku.
Accompanying American heiress Belle Seldon on a visit to her ancestral family home in Somerset, Ursula Grandison soon discovers that the decaying stately Mountstanton House and its inhabitants has many secrets, including a crumbling marriage and a missing dowry.
As she struggles to make a living in a society where women have few rights and little freedom, she teams up with old friend and private investigator Thomas Jackman, who soon finds himself drawing on Ursula's investigative abilities as they battle to save an innocent woman from the noose.
