Summary
About the author
About the narrator

London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared.

Maude, her older sister, knows only that Constance abandoned the apothecary they call home, and, disguised as a boy, boarded a ship bound for the Arctic. She never returned. 'A tragic accident', the Admiralty called it. But Maude Horton knows something isn't right.

When she finds Constance's journal, it becomes clear that the truth is being buried by sinister forces. To find answers - and deliver justice for her sister - Maude must step into London's dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the city's horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaud's.

It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . .

'Such a brilliant book! Every page is stuffed with adventure and character, rendered so evocatively you feel like you're dashing around with Maude in 1850. A joyous, propulsive piece of writing from a truly talented writer.' Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

'A gripping adventure story . . . I loved it.' Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters

'Grisly, addictive fun . . . I devoured it in 24 hours.' Emilia Hart, author of Weyward

'Rip-roaring and guillotine sharp - I couldn't tear myself away.' Ellory Lloyd, author of The Club
