'We have no need to protect ourselves from the bad sort because WE
are the bad sort . . .' 'Beguiling' Stylist The year is 1831. Down
murky alleyways, acts of unspeakable wickedness are taking place
and London's vulnerable poor are disappearing from the streets. Out
of these shadows comes Hester White, a bright young woman who is
desperate to escape these slums by any means possible. When a
chance encounter thrusts Hester into the beguiling world of the
aristocratic Brock family, she leaps at the chance to improve her
station in life. But whispers from her past slowly begin to poison
her new existence, and lure her into the most sinister of
investigations. As she finds herself dragged into the blackest
heart of the city, little does she know that something more
depraved than she could ever imagine is lurking. . . 'Carlin can
tell a good story' Observer 'Contains lovely, lyrical writing . . .
and a heady romance at its heart' Sunday Express 'A deliciously
dark confection of a novel' Ruth Hogan
