The Locket

Emily Thornton, unusually for a young woman in Hull in the 1860s, acts as clerk to her lawyer father. When she meets a personable stranger, Thomas Laycock, who is setting up a detective agency, Emily becomes involved in his investigations. Together they try to find the truth behind a murder for which a friend has been framed, a missing woman and an unusual locket. Thomas believes there is a link between all three cases, and as he and Emily work to crack the puzzle, they begin to share a suspicion about someone's true character...
