As an assistant in her elderly uncle's London morgue, she uses her photographic memory to catalogue details for his coroner reports. She also isn't opposed to helping during postmortems, when his skilled hands begin to shake. After a thief breaks into the morgue and steals a locket from a corpse, Leo is determined to understand why, even if it means going against Detective Inspector Jasper Reid's express orders to keep her nose out of it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA closely guarded past\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn and bred in the East End slums, Jasper Reid's recent promotion to the detective's branch at Scotland Yard is a long step up from his murky past...a past he can't afford to reveal to anyone. The last thing he needs is a muddled case connecting to the criminals he once associated with-and to the well-known eccentric Leo Spencer. Her stubborn resolve to undermine Jasper's investigation tests his patience and the complicated history they share. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA murderer closing in\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the missing locket and a handful of suspicious deaths point to a mysterious buried object, Jasper grudgingly accepts Leo's help to locate it.
