Description

London, 1888: Opium. Smoke. Smuggling. Murder.

Pearl Fitzgerald returns to Limehouse - London's very first Chinatown - to settle her father's affairs and claim her inheritance. But when she becomes embroiled in a murder plot, her plans are thrown off course. Even more so by the alluring Mei, sister to the murdered docker, who Pearl becomes infatuated with. Promising Mei that she will bring her brother's killer to justice, Pearl delves into the East End's criminal underworld.

The name on everyone's lips, whispered in the shadows, is the blue man. Who is he? What is he capable of? And can Pearl find out before she becomes the next victim?
