'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players....'
When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees
prostitute Lizzie Hardwicke trade Ma Farley's Bawdy House in Soho for
life as a seamstress at the theatre on Drury Lane, it becomes clear
quite quickly - what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than
the theatrics being played out onstage....
Soon Lizzie is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector
Will Davenport when a high profile investor is brutally hanged at centre
stage and Lizzie discovers the body. With the suspect list rivalling any
casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she's hidden up her
sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the
spotlight.
