19th-century London.
When she rescues a wounded bulldog from the River Thames, Eden Glitter has no idea that this simple act will draw her into an action-packed adventure… Assisted by Kessy and Irwin (two street urchins who are also “stoolies”) and with the solid support of Gareth (her husband, who also happens to be a police officer), Eden confronts a gang of evildoers led by the odious and unscrupulous Flynn Hellwood. Determined to bring him to justice, Eden discovers that Hellwood secretly holds regular contests in which all kinds of animals are made to fight, a shameless activity run for his own pleasure and profit. Even though the practise has been made illegal, Hellwood seems determined to flout the law…
Delving deeper into this sinister case, Eden also uncovers the method Hellwood uses to steal people’s beloved pets—an “underworld” of waifs and orphans who somehow manage to break into their houses in the dead of night…
