| Summary: | "Gower Street, London, 1882. Sidney Grice, London's most famous private detective, is expecting a visitor. He drains his fifth pot of morning tea, and glances outside, where a young, plain woman -- March Middleton -- picks her way between the piles of horse-dung towards his front door. March Middleton is Sidney Grice's new ward, and she is determined to help him on his next case. Her guardian thinks women are too weak for detective work, but when a grisly murder in the slums proves too puzzling for even Sidney Grice's encyclopaedic brain, March Middleton turns out to be rather useful after all. The investigations lead the pair to the darkest alleys of the East End: every twist leads Sidney Grice to think his client is guilty ; but March is convinced that he is innocent. Around them London reeks with the stench of poverty and gossip, the case threatens to boil over into civil unrest, and Sidney Grice finds his reputation is not the only thing in mortal danger."--Provided by publisher. |
