Kitty Peck and the music hall murders - Kate Griffin

Limehouse,
1880: Dancing girls are going missing from 'Paradise' - the criminal
manor with ruthless efficiency by the ferocious Lady Ginger. Seventeen-year-old
music hall seamstress Kitty Peck finds herself reluctantly drawn into a
web of blackmail, depravity and murder when The Lady devises a singular
scheme to discover the truth. But as Kitty's scandalous and terrifying
act becomes the talk of London, she finds herself facing someone even
more deadly and horrifying than The Lady.

Bold, impetuous and blessed
with more brains than she cares to admit, it soon becomes apparent that
it's up to the unlikely team of Kitty and her stagehand friend, Lucca,
to unravel the truth and ensure that more girls do not meet with a
similar fate. But are Kitty's courage and common sense and Lucca's book learning a match for the monster in the shadows? Their
investigations take them from the gin-fuelled halls and doss houses of
the East End to the champagne-fuelled galleries of the West End.

Take nothing at face value: Kitty is about to step out on a path of discovery that changes everything . . .
