Lizzie Martin arrives in London in 1864 to become, reluctantly, a lady's companion. Her first impressions of the big city are disturbing - she's barely out of the station when her cab encounters a wagon carrying the sad remains of a young woman recently dead. At her new home, Lizzie learns that her predecessor, Madeleine Hexham, disappeared one day without a word of warning. Lizzie's scandalised employer assumes immoral behaviour to be behind the girl's departure, but Lizzie's conversations with the staff soon persuade her that there's a deeper mystery here. Her suspicions are tragically confirmed when Inspector Benjamin Ross delivers shocking tidings. Lizzie is determined to unravel the truth about the lost Miss Hexham. Ben Ross is equally driven to solve the case - he's a man who cares about justice, whatever the class of the victim. But unless Lizzie takes great care, Ben will have another crime on his hands, as a cornered killer is the most dangerous of men. This 2006 Headline Paperback is in good condition.
