But encouraged by Daniel McAdam, a friend who does dangerous freelance jobs for Scotland Yard, she agrees to make inquiries and soon learns that Joe not only wasn’t really her husband, he wasn’t really Joseph Bristow, either. Now Charlotte Bristow has come to Mount Street, where Kat works as the Bywater family's cook, with a bold-faced request: Could Kat join her in looking for a substantial pot of money Joe was reputed to have left behind? Kat, already dedicated to spending every free hour with Grace, the daughter she’s placed with her friend Joanna Millburn so that she can keep the girl's existence secret from her employers, is far from eager to collaborate with the woman who looks down on her as a paramour.
Not till after the Devonshire sank with all hands off the coast of Antigua did Kat realize Joseph Bristow wasn’t even her husband he’d already been married to another woman when he took Kat to the altar and to bed and left her pregnant. Twelve years after his reported death in 1870, Katharine Holloway’s husband is still making trouble for her.
