Description
The Searcher by T. J. Alexander is set in January 1822 and follows Adah Flint, a woman who examines the body of a young girl found dead on wasteland in London's Liberty of Norton Folgate. As she searches for the truth, Adah takes her investigation through the city's cosmopolitan backstreets, where she encounters its inns, prisons, street markets, and prostitution.
This novel is based on real characters and a true crime, offering a glimpse into the long-forgotten world of women searchers who played an important role in solving crimes. The story then unfolds into the twenty-first century, where new enigmas emerge and mysteries are resolved.
