Lawless and the Flowers of Sin

As reluctant inspector of vice, Lawless undertakes a reckoning of London's night houses. Lawless is fascinated by Felix, the forlorn maestro driven by mysterious sufferings to establish this charitable foundation. Every secret he uncovers points to many more covered up. When reputations are at threat, those running the show can be merciless in defending them. First-rate Victorian crime fiction.
