'Historical fiction at its very best' ELLY GRIFFITHS. A Times
Historical Fiction Book of the Month. They will see me hang for
this. London, 1855. In the grey mist of the early morning a body is
dumped on the shore of the Thames by a boatman in a metal canoe.
Talk soon spreads of the killer and his striking accomplice: a
young widow in mourning dress. Birdie Quinn's sleeplessness led her
to the river that morning. She has always been wilful, haughty,
different... but is she a murderess? To clear her name, she must
retrace the dead man's footsteps to Orkney and the far north. A
dangerous journey for a woman alone, but one she must make to save
her life. This gripping, richly layered historical thriller is
perfect for fans of The Familiars, The House Between Tides and The
Confessions of Franny Langton. 'Historical fiction at its very
best. Mesmerising setting, fantastic characters and a fascinating
insight into a ruthless trade' ELLY GRIFFITHS. 'What a joy! Reads
like a classic nineteenth-century mystery with a twist, richly dark
and full of gaslit menace' LESLEY THOMSON. 'Unearths startling
truths about death and corruption in the transatlantic fur trade'
THE TIMES. 'A top quality piece of historical fiction' iSCOT
MAGAZINE.
