Synopsis "Fish Bone Alley 4 the Birching (in English)"
The trafficking of children in Victorian London is paramount to a story that is as brutal as it is sad, as miserable as it is joyous, as grotesque as it is beautiful. It also a tale of revenge and redemption.Two dogged Scotland Yard detectives hunting for the killer of an upmarket prostitute are side tracked to also hunt down twin brothers William and Robert Boyle.Having returned to London after a five-year absence the twins are determined to track down and violently punish anyone who crossed their paths when they were children. Top of their list are all those who trafficked them and two policemen who viciously birched them. But it is not only the detectives who are hunting the Boyle's, so is Joe Straw, a notorious private detective who will go to any lengths to protect his upper-class paymasters. Straw is as cold and ruthless as his prey.This is a tale of the social injustices of the times where the poor are there to be used, abused, and thrown away by a callous establishment interested only in covering up its perverted secret twilight world.Follow the detectives as they pursue all manner of bazaar enquiries in their quest to not only catch the twins but to also expose the pimps, madams, and their vile clientele to the full force of the law. Mixed with light and often very dark humour this tail will grip you by the lapels and drag you through the slums, upmarket brothels, and Streets of London.A wealth of characters are packed into an easy to read full length novel that will enthral you, horrify you, amuse you, and if you have a kind heart it may break it.
