Description
In 1710, Thomas True arrives on old London Bridge with a dangerous secret. One night, lost among the squalor of London’s hidden back streets, he is drawn into the outrageous underworld of the molly houses. Meanwhile, carpenter Gabriel Griffin struggles to conceal his double life as Lotty, the silent guard of the mollies. When Mother Clap, the queen of all “he-harlots”, tells him about a deadly threat, he realises that his friends face imminent execution. To the horror of all the mollies, a rat is betraying their secrets to two murderous Justices determined to punish sinners with the noose. Can Gabriel expose the traitor before it is too late? Can he save the helpless Thomas from danger, as well as their impossible love? Set in the hidden world of Georgian London’s “gay” scene, this brutal and devastating thriller is a story in which love must overcome evil and the only true sin is betrayal.
