Paige was working on a story about the Chiron Club, a private society for the richest and most privileged men in London. Then she disappeared.
It's clear to Maeve that the members have many secrets. But Maeve is hiding secrets of her own - even from her partner DI Josh Derwent. Will she uncover the truth about Paige's death? Or will time run out for Maeve first?
