English Summary/英文概要： The breakthrough novel from acclaimed writer Janette Jenkins - a dark tale from Victorian London, of ghosts, the clang of prison gates, and what goes on behind closed doors...London, 1899. A young girl is abandoned by her family and finds lodging and work assisting a doctor.
Jane accompanies Mr Swift to appointments in certain boarding houses across town. The young actresses who live there have problems, and the doctor does what is required, calmly and discreetly. Grateful to her benefactor and his wife, Jane assists him and asks no questions.
When this unlikely pair become involved with a rakish music hall star, Johnny Treble, and when the doctor’s drinking starts to befuddle his thinking, Jane is certain that her spell of good fortune cannot last. When the police come knocking – how will the doctor explain the absence of his medical certificates? How will they explain their connection to Treble’s sudden death? And how will Jane argue her innocence?
In her new novel set in a tawdry and troubled world, Janette Jenkins exposes the moral conflicts that emerge when people are forced to act against their consciences in an effort to get by and asks whether it is ever possible to commit abhorrent acts without being corrupted by them.
