Introducing Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins as an unusual
detective duo in the first of a brand-new Victorian mystery series.
When Inspector Field shows his friend Charles Dickens the body of a
young woman dragged from the River Thames, he cannot have foreseen
that the famous author would immediately recognize the victim as
Isabella Gordon, a housemaid he had tried to help through his
charity. Nor that Dickens and his fellow writer Wilkie Collins
would determine to find out who killed her. Who was Isabella
blackmailing, and why? Led on by fragments of a journal discovered
by Isabella's friend Sesina, the two men track the murdered girl's
journeys from Greenwich to Snow Hill, from Smithfield Market to St
Bartholomews, and put their wits to work on uncovering her past.
But what does Sesina know that she's choosing not to tell them? And
is she doomed to follow in the footsteps of the unfortunate
Isabella .?
