A riveting and fast-paced period thriller, closely based on a true story that was a national sensation in 1892 and has become an enduring legend. Continues the tradition of dark Victorian atmospherics like 'The Prestige'and 'The Illusionist,' but with the relentless noir evil-doing of the modern 'The Last Seduction' or 'The Postman Rings Twice.' This is a timeless and universal tale of love and crime, trust and betrayal, hope and tragedy. Kate and Tom Morgan are criminals who stick to your ribs. Sweet Lizzie Wyllie is a Victorian Fallen Angel you will long cherish. This gripping suspense novel directly blends legend and factual research in bringing to life villains on the scale of Bonnie and Clyde.
