While the gap between rich and poor is unmistakable in Victorian London, Tom carves out a happy enough life and has plenty of friends, including Clara, the comely landlady of DollyâÇÖs Chop House.So when one of ClaraâÇÖs patrons is found murdered on her premises, Tom is quick to help, calling on his connections in the police force.

Who really owns the mystery manuscript? And why are TomâÇÖs friend Phineas and ClaraâÇÖs beautiful daughter Hetty involved?It is up to Tom to find out what links an obscure Elizabethan actor with a slew of nineteenth century deaths in this absorbing and whimsical whodunit.Amy Myers has been a full-time writer since 1988, and has written a wide range of novels from historical sagas and contemporary romance to crime.
