Violet Garland may be a duke's daughter, but she has a strong streak of daredevil. What she wants most in life is adventure-and when she spots a Bow Street Runner among the ton, she knows she's finally found it. She'll help the investigator track down his villain, whether he wishes her to or not!

Bow Street Principal Officer Perry Wintersmith does not want any assistance, especially from a female as persistent and annoying as Lady Violet Garland. Although Lady Violet does possess a most uncommon talent and she is exceptionally good at following people...

Perhaps he ought to accept her offer of help? Together they might be able to unravel a rather perplexing mystery-and Perry may just avoid falling off any roofs.
