Description
A memorable and sinister tale set in eighteenth century London from Leon Garfield. Eastward in Clerkenwell lies the Mulberry Pleasure Garden- six acres of leafy walks, colonnades and pavillions. In this bosky setting parade a variety of characters of awesome granduer, innocence and evil - and all are subject to a ring of blackmail terror.
