A Tale of Deception in the Shadows of Victorian London
In the grimy streets of 1860s London, a young woman named Susan Trinder has grown up among thieves and con artists. Orphaned as an infant when her mother was hanged, Sue has been raised by Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer" who abandoned her criminal enterprise to focus solely on raising Sue. Their home on Lant Street serves as headquarters for a small criminal family specializing in stolen goods. Sue's fingers are nimble-perfect for picking pockets and cleaning stolen jewelry-but her heart remains innocent despite her surroundings. Everything changes when a gentleman con artist known as "Richard Rivers" arrives with an elaborate scheme. His plan seems simple: Sue will pose as a lady's maid to Maud Lilly, a wealthy heiress living with her scholarly uncle at a country estate called Briar. Sue's job is to encourage Maud to fall in love with Rivers, who will marry her, claim her fortune, and then commit her to a madhouse. For her part in this deception, Sue is promised three thousand pounds-wealth beyond her wildest dreams. What could be simpler? A few months' work, a vulnerable mark, and a fortune to split. Yet as Sue steps into Briar's shadow, she enters a world where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted-especially those closest to her heart.
