When Peggy O'Reilly steps off the Wexford train, she dreams of a fresh start. Within days, she has vanished into Dublin's shadows, and soon the search for a missing girl has become a hunt for a killer...

Dublin, 1894. Lucy Lawrence arrives in Dublin expecting a pleasant summer holiday while her husband Phineas investigates security at Dublin Castle. But when her maid's young cousin disappears and is found murdered in the notorious Monto red-light district, Lucy cannot stand idly by, especially when the girl's sister is still missing.

In Merrion Square, banker Myles Carver grieves his dying wife with his beautiful daughter-in-law Olivia. In the Monto's brothels, madam Celine Burton rules through violence and fear. Between these two worlds stands Detective Inspector Fergus Ryan, hunting a killer while the powerful protect their secrets. As bodies mount and time runs out, Lucy must decide who to trust in a city full of contradictions.

From sumptuous drawing rooms to squalid brothels the police dare not enter, this is a gripping Victorian mystery and a thrilling addition to the bestselling Lucy Lawrence series.

Lecky, Pam: - Pam Lecky is an Irish historical crime and mystery author. Having acquired a love of reading crime and historical fiction from her father at a very young age, she proceeded to gobble books until one day she realised she might like to write one. Pam lives in North County Dublin, close to the sea, sharing her office (whether she likes it or not!) with two cats, Bertie (Bertie Wooster) and Pip (Pippin the hobbit, of course), and a mad doggie PA who goes by the name of Molly (who is, Pam is convinced, part kangaroo!). Her debut novel, The Bowes Inheritance, was awarded the B.R.A.G Medallion; shortlisted for the Carousel Aware Prize 2016; and longlisted for the Historical Novel Society 2016 Indie Award. She has two popular series; The Lucy Lawrence Mysteries featuring a Victorian amateur sleuth, and the Sarah Gillespie WW2 series. Pam trained as a horticulturist and built a show garden at the Bloom Garden Festival in Dublin in 2008. When not writing, you can find her in her garden or walking the beach. She is a member of The Historical Novel Society, The Crime Writers' Association and The Society of Authors. She is represented by Thérèse Coen, at Susanna Lea Associates, London.
