A Lethal Secret.
As adults, the cousins find themselves locked in a vicious competition for the top job at the bank. But as that deadly event from their schooldays resurfaces, it will threaten everything the Pilasters have built. Indeed, the respectable veneer of the family - and of Victorian society - looks set to shatter . . .
