January 1803. Lincolnshire.
When the formidable Sir Henry Fitzwilliam is found dead in his bed, whispering “no, no, no” his final words, suspicion soon blankets Harebell House. The cause? Poison. And not just any — arsphenamine, a compound not yet widely known, intended to treat a shameful disease and now repurposed for murder.
Dr. Arjun Arkwright, a reclusive physician still haunted by the death of his wife, is summoned by the local constable not for his bedside manner, but for his keen deductive mind. He is soon joined by Ophelia Pearson, an eccentric chemist and fiercely intelligent heiress, who identifies the poison and becomes entangled in both the case and Arkwright’s cautious life.
