India is not good for business and at first, Malone wants her out. Her selfless activities better her patients' lives and bring her immense gratification, but unfortunately, they also bring her into direct conflict with East London's ruling crime lord-Sid Malone. With the help of her influential fiance-Freddie Lytton, an up-and-coming Liberal MP-she works to shut down the area's opium dens that destroy both body and soul. Among the reformers is an idealistic young woman named India Selwyn-Jones, recently graduated from medical school. And yet, in the summer of 1900, East London is still poor, still brutal, still a shadow city to its western twin. It has been twelve years since a dark, murderous figure stalked the alleys and courts of Whitechapel.
