Description

A gripping historical crime thriller set in the dark heart of London's slave trade in June 1781, Blood & Sugar follows the investigation into the brutal murder of an unidentified body found at Deptford Dock. The victim is branded with a slaver's mark, and the case is linked to the disappearance of a passionate abolitionist who had been about to expose a secret that could cause irreparable damage to the British slaving industry. Captain Harry Corsham, a war hero and rising parliamentary candidate, is drawn into the investigation, forced to confront his past and the dark secrets he had tried to leave behind. As he delves deeper into the conspiracy, he must navigate the treacherous world of 18th-century politics and the mortal dangers that await him in Deptford. This is a page-turning thriller that sheds light on the brutal realities of Britain's slave trade in the 18th century, with a debut author who brings convincing and terrible clarity to the world she has created.
