In Jess’s third book she
introduces us to the formidable Bridie Divine, a flame haired female
investigator in nineteenth century London who has been hired to recover the
kidnapped daughter of a Baronet. Young Christabel Berwick has strange powers,
she can control the tides and see into the mind and pick out thoughts the way a
skilled angler lands a trout.
Bridie is assisted by housekeeper
Cora - rescued from the circus, Ruby, a deceased boxer with spectacular tattoos
and Inspector Rose of Scotland Yard.
The rivers of London are rising
from their burial grounds, threatening to turn London into a suburb of
Atlantis. To find Christabel Bridie has to revisit her past; one she would
prefer stay buried but with a child’s life at stake she will not fail, again.
