The widow's secret

About this book

Bella Wallis discovers the plots for her sensationalist novels in the alleyways, drawing rooms and dirty laundry of Victorian London. Under the pen name of Henry Ellis Margam, our indomitable heroine takes revenge upon the scoundrels who litter London Society by destroying them - in print. So when Bella discovers a crested cigar case at the scene of a murdered prostitute, she and her friends are determined to write a mystery that will avenge the wretched girl's death. But the owner of the coat of arms is a dangerous and powerful man, and the world he inhabits far murkier than Bella could ever have imagined.
