In 1920 London, an intrepid journalist searches for the truth behind her mother’s death six years earlier at a protest for women’s voting rights . . .

1920 is a time of change and upheaval in Britain. For the first time in history, two women are competing against each other for a seat in Parliament, and Iris, a journalist, is sent to cover the story at the House of Commons. But it’s a place that holds painful memories.

In 1914, Iris’s mother died there when she fell into the River Thames during a daring suffragette protest. In the shadow of Big Ben, a waterman tells Iris her mother didn’t fall—she jumped. Iris searches for the suffragette who was with her mother on that fateful day, only to discover that she disappeared after the protest and has been missing for six years. Desperate to know the truth behind that fatal jump, Iris’s investigation leads her to Crookham Hall, an ancestral home where secrets and lies lead to murder . . .
