Sequel to Dubious Dealings

In Georgian London, Sheba, a Covent Garden molly has had a busy spring. He's witnessed a murder and been chased around the streets of London by the killer. Subsequently, Sheba has become involved with lawyer Valentine Lee, both professionally and personally, as they attempt to seek the mastermind behind the murder and mayhem.

Sheba's summer isn't looking any easier. As he and Valentine get closer to the culprit, the danger increases, with Sheba forced to flee from his room in Seven Dials back to riverside Deptford to care for his brutish dockworker father after an injury.

In Sheba's absence, will Valentine make the breakthrough to allow him to return home safely and continue their deepening relationship? Or will their joint discoveries put them both in deadly peril?
