Sobre IBD

A young woman Natalie Meadows jumps from Blackfriars Bridge escaping from the horror she has just witnessed. But she is rescued and feels duty-bound to find out who murdered her best friend the music hall star Nellie Warwick and why. Natalie reinvents herself as Flora Thorne and finds a position as housemaid to the Reverend Wallace and his daughter. From the sanctuary of their home she is able to investigate the circumstances of Nellie’s murder. What she uncovers is a conspiracy of silence and corruption and of unscrupulous men preying on women like herself and Nellie. Her attempts to unmask the killer and to bring him to justice exact a heavy price on Natalie. LONDON DUST is a powerful evocation of the underbelly of Victorian London full of flavour completely convincing and utterly gripping.
