| Synopsis: |
From the author of "Half of the Human Race" (Channel 4 "TV Book Club") comes an intricate and thrilling tale of love and conspiracy in Victorian London. London, 1882. David Wildeblood, an idealistic young journalist, pounds the streets of Camden reporting on the notorious slums. The misery and squalor surprise him, but more shocking still is the realisation that someone is profiting from this destitution. Wildeblood's urge to uncover the truth draws him into mortal danger as his investigations reveal a trail of corruption that leads to the very highest levels of society..."Powerful and heartfelt. Ms Eliot and Mr Dickens would surely approve". ("Sunday Telegraph"). "Quinn blends his history, his political concerns, his ideals, his plot and his characters elegantly, with a light hand and the pace of a thriller". ("Daily Telegraph"). |
