Keeping secrets is a dangerous game. In 1995, in London, when Sir James Harrison, one of the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of ninety-five, he leaves behind not only a broken family but also a secret so shocking and devastating that it could shake the English establishment to its core. Joanna Haslam is an ambitious young journalist assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral. The world's elite are in attendance. However, Joanna uncovers something dark behind the glamour: the mention of a letter that James Harrison left behind, the contents of which others have desperately tried to conceal for over seventy years. As she unravels the veil of lies surrounding the secret, she realizes that other forces are trying to stop her from discovering the truth. And they will stop at nothing to keep the letter from her.
