Description
The East End of London was a difficult place to grow up in during the Victorian era. Unemployment and poverty were rife in the neighbourhood, but one family, the Wheelers, had managed to forge a better life for themselves. Their eldest daughter, Mary, had found skilled employment, giving her independence and allowing her to develop into a strong-willed woman with a fierce streak. Mary's past experiences had a profound impact on her volatile nature, fueling her emotions and making her prone to depression. However, it was also this same intensity that drove her to seek justice in the face of tragedy. In 1888, London was gripped by a series of brutal murders, targeting working women. Mary knew more about the killer than she let on, but her own demons made it hard for her to open up. As the police and vigilantes hunted for the mysterious killer, Mary's unique perspective could be their only lead. But would she be able to overcome her own struggles to bring the perpetrator to justice?
