Description
London, 1903. A pair of women are hanged in Holloway Prison for their roles in killing babies. More than thirty years later, Josephine Tey sets out to write a novel about Amelia Sach and Annie Walters, the notorious Finchley baby farmers. As she delves into the dark history of these two women, Tey's friend Inspector Archie Penrose is investigating a different kind of crime - the sadistic murder of a young seamstress. The two cases are seemingly unrelated, but both lead to a deeper understanding of the human condition and the complexities of justice. Tey's novel offers a unique perspective on this period in history, one that is both thought-provoking and deeply unsettling.
