Publisher's Synopsis
The second book in the Annabelle Sweeting Mystery series finds our heroine in the mist of a turbulent romance, a undetermined career path, and a new set of murders to solve.
To say things have become rocky between Annabelle and Constable Weston would be an understatement. Can the two put their personal lives on hold to work together and help Nathan discover who is hunting his old team of pickpocketing orphans, or will Annabelle give up investigating and leave the city completely? Find out now!
Annabelle's young sleuthing partner, Nathan Starling, must face his past. As a former pickpocketing guttersnipe, Nathan is familiar with the slums of the Brass Boroughs. Now, the friends from his old life are turning up dead, and Annabelle must help uncover the truth, before more orphans perish. To add to Annabelle's current predicament, her one-time beau, Constable Luke Weston, wants her to stop investigating altogether. That is one thing she can never do.
