Mikaela takes on a case alone when Brodie is pulled into a new investigation for Sir Avery and the Agency.

It is a time of dangerous unrest across the whole of Europe, and they realize the two cases may be connected when the doctor is found murdered at a secret office in the East End where he performed certain procedures. It is also the place where the anarchist was followed, only to disappear. What was the reason for secrecy regarding that specific office? Why was the doctor murdered?

Assistance with deciphering the last of the code comes from an unexpected source and reveals the target-Parliament, the heart of British law and authority. Hundreds of people will die. With time running out, they race to stop the anarchists, expose the plot, and discover a deception they could never have imagined...
