Literární historický román z Anglie 19. století. Teolog Frazer a medik Chapman jsou nadaní studenti a oddaní přátelé.

Útulek vede Diana Pelhamová, krásná a tajemná vdova, jejíž minulost je však plná šokujících tajemství. Kdysi stála modelem malíři, který později zemřel za temných okolností. A jak se zapletla s libertinem Vilmotem a jeho otřesně proslulým „pánským klubem“?
