About this ebook

At a glittering Carlton Hotel gathering, wealthy, reckless Luke Maddison is drawn into a world where elegance and danger sit side by side. When a mysterious stranger saves him with uncanny strength, the man proves to be Gunner Haynes: impeccably dressed, cultured, scarred, and notorious, a criminal whose polished manners conceal a violent past in America. Luke's sympathy for Gunner clashes with the panic of Danton Morell, who recognizes an old associate he has tried to bury and moves quickly to protect himself. Meanwhile, Margaret Leferre's trust in Luke begins to crack as grief, gossip, and manipulation tighten around her. From London's snowbound streets to the back rooms of the West End, the mystery deepens. Reporter Mary Bolford, disguised as a flower girl, witnesses Morell's nervous dealings before Detective Inspector Horace Bird, the booming, streetwise "Sparrow," exposes the city's crooks and parasites with comic force. Bird's investigation leads to Rex Leferre's suicide, a hidden note, and a growing sense that gambling, blackmail, and gang politics are all connected. As Luke is mistaken for a thief, threatened by armed men, and pulled into Connor's criminal headquarters at Ginnett Street, he discovers that money, loyalty, and deception are controlling every life around him. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
