"The Wicked Widow, Madelein, got her nickname from the rumours of her killing her husband only a few months after their marriage.
Mr Artemis Hunt, a member of the highest society, has a secret which, if it were known by the town, would shut all the doors of the members of the town.
Somehow the Wicked Widow knows about his secret and forces him to help her find her maid, when she is kidnapped. Will she destroy everything he has fought for? And why hasn't she slept for several nights, has it something to do with her dead husband?"
