Prostitute Lizzie Hardwicke accepts an opportunity to step out of her life at Ma Farley's Bawdy House in Soho and begin an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate. Her temporary position as a costume seamstress on Drury Lane places her behind the scenes. She realises that what goes on in the wings is far more intriguing than the theatrics on stage. When a man is brutally hanged at the theatre and Lizzie discovers the body, she is once again thrown together with handsome Inspector Will Davenport. She will have to use every trick she has hidden up her sleeves to bring the culprit into the spotlight. Witty, even a little bit romantic, and with all the historical landscape of the mid 18th century. 330pp, paperback.
