A historical crime story of intrigue and suspense.
‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players …’
When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees prostitute Lizzie Hardwicke trade Ma Farley’s Bawdy House in Soho for life as a theatre seamstress on Drury Lane, it becomes clear quite quickly – what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than the theatrics being played out on stage …
Soon Lizzie is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector Will Davenport when a high profile investor is brutally hanged at centre stage and Lizzie discovers the body. With the suspect list rivalling any casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she’s hidden up her sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the spotlight.
'Lizzie Hardwicke is razor sharp and brilliantly original.'
Joe Heap
'Atmospheric and full of authentic details about ... 18th-century London.'
Karen Odden, author of A Lady in the Smoke
