Narrated by Sarah Zimmerman.

On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances Wynn has a great deal more on her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. On the day itself, Frances is relieved to note that Mr. Connor is not among the guests assembled at the church. The reason for his absence turns out to be most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is found murdered in his home. More shocking still, her brother Alonzo is caught at the scene, holding the murder weapon. Frances and George agree to put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo's name. But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the Bainbridge and Connor families, but also in their own.
