Overview
PRAISE FORDEAD IMAGE 'A gripping and satisfying murder mystery with an unguessable final twist' Mystery WomenPRAISE FORDEAD BORN'[A] gripping Victorian mystery' Publishers Weekly'Asking an historian to review a historical novel is asking for trouble - but Joan Lock's book is something else. Her knowledge of London and its policing in the 19th century makes this into a very different kind of novel - one with an extremely realistic setting' London Archive Users Forum When the bodies of a number of babies are found scattered around Islington, Detective Sergeant Best is sent undercover to lodge next door to a suspected baby farm. He shadows an alleged 'child dropper' onto a Thames pleasure steamer and finds himself caught up in Britain's worst civilian tragedy -- the 1878 sinking of the Princess Alice -- a horrific experience which will haunt Best forever. Meanwhile, his determination to avenge the death of a young girl he had befriended and save the life of another becomes a crusade.
