Discovered Penny Green yet?
A woman dies in a burglary in Fitzrovia. A man is murdered in an opium den in Limehouse. Gutsy Fleet Street reporter Penny Green suspects the two deaths are connected, but how can she prove it?

Soon Penny is forced to act alone and is put to the ultimate test when her quest becomes personal.
