Plot
Set in Victorian London, Eliza Scarlet is left penniless when her father dies. This is especially problematic in a time where marriage is the only option for financial security. Eliza resolves to continue her father's detective agency. But to operate in such a male-dominated world of crime-solving she needs a male partner, and soon works with gruff womanizer Detective Inspector William Wellington, known as the Duke.
