Cremorne Gardens was an actual, notorious 19th-century pleasure ground along the banks of the Thames, in London. The sexual high jinks that happened there so outraged its prurient neighbors, that eventually the Gardens was destroyed. Here, however, stories from the infamous Cremorne Gardens live on. Miss Caroline Redfield of Cremorne Gardens is drawn into an art fraud in an attempt to help her lover. Though she has never investigated a crime before, she has considerable resources to apply to the task — such as her sumptuous hourglass figure, her flashing eyes, and, above all, her willingness to bend over backwards to uncover the truth.
