Lying Mirrors

London, 1847. Mr. Warren – a true aristocrat of the criminal world – picks up a homeless seven-year-old girl who calls herself Winifred. The little girl turns out to be clever, and her master manages to teach her all the... secrets of espionage. Ten years later, Winifred is only held by fear beside her master. She dreams of escaping from him and starting a new life. But how can she do that when she has nothing but a handful of coins to her name, and her master's men will find her wherever she hides?.. During another assignment, Winifred meets Theodore Darling – a charming young aristocrat. He offers the girl a job working for him, promising to deal with Mr. Warren and set her free in return. The offer is tempting, but Darling is not so simple. Where does he constantly go? Why does he evade answers every time she asks about his family? It seems the young spy needs to beware of both masters, or she simply won't survive... ------------------------------ "An adventurous novel full of mysteries and family secrets, or a thrilling suspense in the decor of Victorian England?
