Summary
Down the darkest London streets and alleyways, acts of unspeakable wickedness are left unchecked and some of the poorest in society are disappearing with no one willing to speak for them. But Hester White, a bright young woman from the slums of Bethnal Green, refuses to let the truth stay buried. When she is thrust by chance into the world of the aristocratic Brock family, Hester sees an opportunity to improve her station in life under the tutelage of the fiercely intelligent and mysterious Rebekah. An intimacy develops between them and crosses every boundary Hester has ever known but soon her trust is tested as a complex web of deceit begins to unravel. Hester must race against time to uncover a conspiracy darker than anything she could ever imagine..
