Information

It is 1854 Edinburgh, and respectable faces hide private sins. Sarah Fisher is searching for Annabel Banks, promised a situation in a prestigious household – but she has completely disappeared. Sarah learns how young women are ensnared in Edinburgh’s houses of assignation where they are deceived, trafficked and raped, leaving them ruined in the eyes of a society obsessed with moral purity. Based on true stories crafted by husband and wife team, Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman, this dark, compelling and shocking novel is the fifth and final of the series.
