1876, Victorian London.
The feisty Minnie Ward is scraping a living as a scriptwriter for the Variety Palace Music Hall when the body of her best friend is found in a dingy riverside archway. Minnie is convinced she was murdered and teams up with dashing private detective Albert Easterbrook to find justice.
Together they navigate the streets of London, from high-class gentlemen’s clubs to shady drinking dens. But as the bodies pile up, they must rely on one another if they’re going to track down the killer-and make it out alive . . .
