Publisher's summary

Girl. Mother. Assassin. How dangerous is a woman with nothing left to lose? Listen to the first explosive historical thriller from best-selling crime writer of the DI Callanach series, Helen Fields.

The year is 1905. London is a playground for the rich and a death trap for the poor. When Sofia Logan’s husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her penniless with two young children, she knows she will do anything to keep them from the workhouse. But can she bring herself to murder? Even if she has done it before....

Emmet Vinsant, wealthy industrialist, offers Sofia a job in one of his gaming houses. He knows more about Sofia’s past than he has revealed. Brought up as part of a travelling fair, she’s an expert at counting cards and spotting cheats, and Vinsant puts her talents to good use. His demands on her grow until she finds herself with blood on her hands.

Set against the backdrop of the Suffragette protests, with industry changing the face of the city but disease still rampant and poverty the greatest threat of all, every decision you make is life or death. Either yours or someone else’s.

Still Hoping for Good

I really kept hoping things would get better - yet dedication, hard work & devotion doesn't Always prove to be Best!! I kept hoping The main charecter just working. Glad to finish yet not a book I'd reread!!

Powerful!

The story started out a little slow but as it progressed I couldn’t put it down. Would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Heroine, survivalist, Antagonist

The story opens in the past and then to the present throughout the narrative. The reader begins to understand and even forgive the main character that would be considered a serial killer. In the end I agreed with Beatrice, “Sofia was not born a monster, life made her a monster.

Another enjoyable story by H Fields

I have enjoyed the detective series and I’m glad to have added this book to my reads. The story has unexpected twists and the characters develop with each having their own story to tell.
