The Night Of

The Night Of
In the gaslit Town beneath the surface world, where society dances on the edge of secrets and scandal, Prime Minister Osmond Trilby is found murdered. The Town Herald whispers 'passionate love affair gone wrong,' but a clandestine organization, the League of Founders, suspects a deeper conspiracy. Thrust into this web of intrigue is Margaret Everard, a hidden member of the League, tasked with investigating the prime suspect: Cole Devitt, the newly appointed head of Wickhurst's Men of Courts – a man with a complicated past connected to Margaret herself. As she navigates treacherous ballrooms and hidden corridors, Margaret must uncover the truth while confronting a history that could unravel everything.

The carriage rattled loudly on the cobbled streets as Cole Devitt cursed silently. He had just ridden out of Willowfair, his heart pounding against his ribs.

This wasn't supposed to happen. He had just been with Prime Minister Osmond Trilby, and now... Osmond was dead.

The affluent town of Wickhurst was buzzing with the news, though it was relegated to the gossip section of the Town Herald. A scandalous murder, they called it, a passionate love affair gone wrong.

But Margaret Everard knew better. Folding the paper in her study, a room hidden away for her secret work, she looked at the plain red letter that bore no seal, a missive from her mentor in the League of Founders. It was paramount she read it in private, for it undoubtedly concerned the death of the Prime Minister, and her role in investigating it.
