Ella respetaba las reglas… pero los chicos malos no jugaban de acuerdo a ninguna regla…
La psicóloga Sara Davenport había escrito un libro sobre 'chicos malos'. Un día su publicista le propuso acudir al programa de radio de Nick Chandler a hablar del libro, pero Sara rechazó la idea de inmediato. Más tarde consideró que la entrevista con aquel famoso chico malo sería una gran publicidad para su obra.
Discutir con la doctora Davenport era maravilloso, pero Nick quería más. Sí, quería seducir a la mujer que tanto criticaba a los chicos malos… así demostraría a su audiencia y también a ella lo bueno que podía llegar a ser… "
"Inspired by real events and people, Murder in Punch Lane is a dark and gripping crime novel that maps the sins and secrets of nineteenth-century Melbourne.
Melbourne, 1868.
When dazzling theatre star Marie St Denis dies in the arms of her best friend, fellow actress Lola Sanchez, everyone believes it was suicide by laudanum overdose. Everyone except Lola. On the brink of stardom herself, she risks everything by embarking on a quest to find Marie's killer.
When journalist Magnus Scott, writing as 'the Walking Gentleman', publishes a compassionate obituary about her friend, Lola decides to seek his help. A fraught attraction develops between these two amateur detectives from opposite sides of society, and their volatile relationship soon begins to compromise their investigation.
Lola keeps a secret from Magnus. She traverses the corrupt underbelly of the brash young metropolis just as he does, but disguised as a boy, entering dangerous, forbidden spaces where the lives of the rich and privileged intersect with the city's underclass and outsiders: bohemians, theatre folk, prostitutes, down-and-outs and opium addicts.
Neither are prepared for the truths they will uncover about the powers that rule Melbourne – or the consequences for their own lives. And now they must race to find the murderer before the city destroys them both."
