The King of Diamonds unfolds a ragged London tale
In a bleak Mile End tenement a dying mother and her hungry son face ruin after a car crash wrecks their lives. Philip Anson, once a clerk, fights to protect his mother's memory and his own future as letters from a titled relative hint at hidden family ties and duty. The doctor counsels restraint while the boy grapples with grief, poverty, and possible inheritance as he uncovers a troubling family history.
