El abogado Pedro Carmona llega a Madrid en la Navidad de 1853 de la mano de su mentor, Ramón de Sotomayor, con la intención de hacer fortuna en la capital. Un misterioso asesinato en el que se ve involucrado fortuitamente complicará su trabajo en un clima político convulso, en pleno declive del gobierno moderado del Conde de San Luis. El protagonista, a quien recordamos de Un trienio en la sombra, intentará encontrar la serenidad personal y el temple profesional para llegar hasta el final y desenmarañar la trama, en un contexto político que propiciará la Revolución de 1854. Diez años después de haber resuelto el asesinato de Antonio Robledo en Antequera, la providencial cita es ahora con el pasado, con el presente y con el futuro, en la ciudad de Madrid. ¿Conseguirá Pedro Carmona por fin hacer justicia?
