While tending to his father's business affairs, Lempriere discovers a 150-year-old conspiracy that has kept his family from its share of the fabulously wealthy East India Company, but as John begins to untangle the years of mystery and deceit, people begin to die, in ways that mirror the very myths he is researching...
