Description
“Before Holmes, there was Lawless… Before Lawless, the London streets weren’t safe to walk…”
A Foundation for Fallen Women. A chess automaton. An impossible theft.
Reluctant inspector of vice, Lawless must take a fruitless reckoning of London’s shadowy nether world. Hyposcrisy, double standards: just what we expect from stuffy Victorian society.
But Lawless was not expecting the trail that his questions open up: from the erotic booksellers of Holywell Street down the darkening passageways of Haymarket bordellos to backstreet cast-offs of the high life.
When reputations are at threat, those running the show can be merciless in defending them.
A Campbell Lawless Victorian mystery sure to appeal to fans of David Liss and George MacDonald Fraser.
Advance Praise
“William Sutton’s first novel is fine, extravagant and thoroughly enjoyable… The action moves with dizzying speed from the highest quarters in the land to the vilest slums and low dives of the teeming city. …Thoroughly enjoyable. We are told that William Sutton is now at work on another Campbell Lawless mystery. If he can maintain this standard of invention, this mastery of linguistic tone, he is on to a winner.”
- Allan Massie, The Scotsman
“First-rate Victorian crime fiction.”
- The Herald
“A thoroughly enjoyable tale of terrorist agents at work in Victorian London.”
- Scottish Review of Books
