Victorian London,the world's first metropolis, offered brand new opportunities: you could hide in plain sight or reinvent yourself.
Murder is for hire in a street inhabited by the 'semi-literate & criminal', a place regarded as the worst in London. Mary and Liza are best friends who live on the street; one on her way up,the other down.
When one of them is marked as a candidate for the assassin's ring, their friendship is shaken.As they drift further apart, suspicion sets in.
