A most unexpected client shows up at Charlotte Holmes's doorstep: Moriarty himself. Moriarty fears that tragedy has befallen his daughter and wants Charlotte to find out the truth.
Charlotte and Mrs. Watson travel to a remote community of occult practitioners where Moriarty's daughter was last seen, a place full of lies and liars. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s sister Livia tries to make sense of a mysterious message from her beau Mr. Marbleton. And Charlotte’s longtime friend and ally Lord Ingram at last turns his seductive prowess on Charlotte—or is it the other way around?
But the more secrets Charlotte unravels about Miss Moriarty’s disappearance, the more she wonders why Moriarty has entrusted this delicate matter to her of all people. Is it merely to test Charlotte's skills as an investigator, or has the man of shadows trapped her in a nest of vipers?

《今日美國》USA Today暢銷作家雪麗．湯瑪斯作品——
最平凡的尋人案件，最危險的委託者。
潛入神祕學公社，尋找莫里亞提的女兒⋯⋯
彷彿柯南．道爾撞上了珍．奧斯汀，讓人不禁拍案叫絕！
莫里亞提不是衝著她來。
至少現在還不是。
上貝克街18號出現了意想不到的訪客——莫里亞提，像個普通的憂心家長，希望委託夏洛特前往一處神祕學信徒聚集的公社，確認他女兒的安危。
地點是某個赫密士教徒社區，那是莫里亞提女兒最後現身之處。夏洛特等人前往調查，一切卻不順利。不但無法順利見到對方，面對公社裡眾人錯綜複雜的謊言，以及莫里亞提真偽不明的委託意圖與提示，夏洛特該如何破解莫里亞提父女之謎？這只是考驗夏洛特推理能力的委託，還是蓄意設下的陷阱？
引人入勝的十九世紀風景、抽絲剝繭的精彩探案，「福爾摩斯小姐」除了對那個時代生活細節、時尚流行字字珠璣的描寫，更不時閃現兼具智慧與機智的幽默對話，彷彿柯南．道爾撞上了珍．奧斯汀，讓人不禁拍案叫絕。
