In Victorian London, power and corruption go hand in hand. And challenging either can be deadly.
London, 1884. A brutal burglary in Fitzrovia leaves a woman dead. Miles away in Limehouse, a man is murdered in an opium den. To most, these crimes seem unconnected. But intrepid reporter Penny Green suspects a sinister link.
As Penny digs deeper, her investigation leads her to the corridors of power in Whitehall, where the India Office reaps vast profits from Britain's opium trade. When Scotland Yard's Inspector James Blakely starts asking questions, he vanishes without a trace.
Torn between her growing feelings for Blakely and her loyalty to his distraught fiancée, Penny finds herself edging closer to a truth that powerful men will kill to keep hidden.
Can Penny unravel the mystery and find Blakely before it's too late? Or will her pursuit of justice cost her everything - including her life?
A gripping Victorian mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page. Curse of the Poppy showcases why readers can't get enough of Penny Green's adventures.
