Welcome to The Perdition Club, where roles are reversed and nothing is what it seems…
Theophilus Brunner is one of the toughest Bow Street Runners in London…but his life and fortunes hang by a thread. He is caught between his duty to bring down Perdition as a den of sin, and his unrequited fascination with Giles, Perdition’s most popular—and wickedest—attraction. With his financial situation in ruins, if he doesn’t follow the orders of his superiors, he could end up back in the poorhouse, where he spent his childhood, which would crush his spirit forever.
Giles might be renowned as Perdition’s most amiable angel now, but he once lived quite a different life. When he agrees to help Theo solve a blackmailing scheme so that the handsome, heartbreaking runner can keep his professional position, that past turns out to be the key to Theo’s salvation. But will exposing the truth of who he truly is condemn Giles to a life of horror? And will it be worth it if his darling runner is saved?
