Ten-year-old Jack Larkin has seen more than his fair share of
shocking sights, growing up in the notorious Crown Saloon.Broken
hearts and broken bones are just a fact of life in a Gin Palace,
but for orphan Dolly, the Crown is her last hope. After the death
of her mother, Dolly ran away from her sleazy step father Arthur,
only to find herself living on the streets. When Jack discovers her
hiding in the back yard of The Crown, he persuades his mother
Nellie Larkin, to take Dolly in. But Dolly has a secret - a very
valuable secret - and Arthur is determined to get his clutches on
her at any cost. And when local hard-man Ezra Morton joins in the
hunt, the Larkins may have to risk everything to keep Dolly safe...
