Curse of the Poppy (Penny Green Victorian Mystery Series)

By Emily Organ

When power is challenged, the consequences can be fatal. A woman dies in a burglary in Fitzrovia. A man is murdered in an opium den in Limehouse. News reporter Penny suspects the two deaths are connected, but how can she prove it? The answer may lie in Whitehall where the India Office reaps the benefits of Britain's opium trade. But when Inspector James Blakely of Scotland Yard begins investigating, he disappears. Penny can't hide her concern for the inspector, even though he's about to marry someone else. Her loyalties are put to the test when Inspector Blakely's fiancée requests her help. It's soon apparent that powerful forces are at play. And Penny's closer to them than she realises...
