The In Crowd

Set against the backdrop of a glamorous Georgian villa garden party in Southwest London, "The In Crowd" reveals the dark undercurrents of privilege and power. As socialites and politicians mingle, a body found in the River Thames initially seems accidental but soon hints at scandal tied to this exclusive gathering. Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp, unexpectedly encountering another death at the theatre, faces intertwined mysteries that challenge the façade of London's high society. Caius's investigation into the drowning and a long-ago disappearance of a young girl at a Cornwall boarding school draws him deep into a world where justice is reserved for the privileged. With pressure from a shadowy government minister and the help of his associates, he navigates a treacherous landscape of money, titles, and influence, exposing how being "in" or "out" can mean the difference between life and death.
