Chicago, 1931. While the Great Depression has tightened its grip on the world, there are still some men who have the means to make their dreams a reality. One of these men is Hobart St. John, who wants a sixteen-room mansion in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park. For young Welsh architect Merlin Richards, the opportunity to work on the house is an answer to his prayer.

All too soon, Richards's elation turns to confusion and fear. A body has been found on site hanging from a rafter. The authorities dismiss it as a case of suicide, but how can that be the case when his hands were tied behind his back?

His dream assignment is fast becoming a nightmare, and Merlin Richards realises that the answers he wants might cost him his life.
