Summary
“Did she give a name?”
“Emily. No surname. And sir—she says she escaped from a private establishment. An entertainment club, for... nobles.”
Abberline’s stomach turned, though his face remained composed. He had heard whispers of such places—unmarked doors behind manicured townhouses, velvet-draped hells frequented by men whose titles insulated them from consequence. If the girl was telling the truth, then she had survived something most didn’t live to describe. “Where is she now?”
『••✎••』
In the underbelly of Victorian London, Inspector Fred Abberline uncovers a hidden network of trafficking and corruption stretching from back-alley clubs to the halls of nobility. When a traumatized survivor, Emily, escapes from the lavish den known as The Velvet Vein, Fred’s investigation draws him into a web of deceit where every truth has a price.
