The Widow's Secret

Bella Wallis is a respectable widow with a secret identity: in an office buried deep within the seedy backstreets of Victorian London, she writes sensationalist novels exposing the scoundrels that litter high society under the pen-name Henry Ellis Margam.

So when a crested cigar case is found near the body of a murdered prostitute, Bella and her friends are determined to trace the murderer and write a mystery that will avenge the poor girl's untimely death.

But the owner of the cigar case is a dangerous - and rich - man who has already destroyed the lives of others who have crossed him. Will Bella see justice done, or will she meet the same fate as so many of her characters ...?
