The second book in the thrilling middle grade mystery series, perfect for fans of Robin Steven’s Murder Most Unladylike. Set in eighteenth-century London, with all the fun and zest of Hamilton and inspired by real Black British historical figures.

Twelve-year-olds Lizzie Sancho and Dido Belle are from different worlds - Lizzie lives in Westminster in her dad’s tea shop, while Belle is an heiress being brought up by her aunt and uncle at grand Kenwood House - but they both share a love of solving mysteries.

After saving Lizzie’s father from near death, and foiling the plans of an evil organisation that lurks below the busy streets of London, surely there is no threat too dangerous for the detective duo?

But even greater dangers lie ahead.

Cases of poisonings from art heists and thievery, to abductions and even attempts at murder. It appears they have only just scratched the surface. It is up to Lizzie and Belle to unveil the truth and put an end to the corruption that plagues the city.
