1912 and London is in turmoil…

The suffragette movement is reaching fever pitch but for broke Fleet Street tomboy Frankie George, just getting by in the cut-throat world of newspapers is hard enough. Sent to interview trapeze artist Ebony Diamond, Frankie finds herself fascinated by the tightly laced acrobat and follows her across London to a Mayfair corset shop that hides more than one dark secret.

Then Ebony Diamond mysteriously disappears in the middle of a performance, and Frankie is drawn into a world of tricks, society columnists, corset fetishists, suffragettes and circus freaks. How did Ebony vanish, who was she afraid of, and what goes on behind the doors of the mysterious Hourglass Factory?

From the newsrooms of Fleet Street to the drawing rooms of high society, the missing Ebony Diamond leads Frankie to the trail of a murderous villain with a plot more deadly than anyone could have imagined…

With a major film, Suffragette, starring Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham-Carter and Carey Mulligan coming soon, suffragettes will be back in the limelight once again, nearly one hundred years after they fought for votes for women.

Reseñas de la crítica

‘Rollicking whodunit adventure…terrific’ (Ian Rankin)
‘Its energy, crackle and humour is infectious' (ELIZABETH BUCHAN)
‘Page-turning commercial historical fiction...a serious one to watch’ (VIV GROSKOP)
‘Its fast-paced plot fizzes with intrigue… this story is too good to miss. With a motley crew of characters and a helping of period detail, it is a fantastically fun page-turner that pulses with all the energy of London streets’
‘Unexpected plot twists, glamorous underworlds…a really mesmerising piece of historical fiction’
‘Set in London two years before the start of The Great War, it’s a world where newspapers are produced in smoke-filled rooms up rickety stairs’
‘An entertaining romp’
A sexy fast-paced historical murder mystery…a thrilling combination of corsets, Emmeline Pankhurst and female journalists…’
‘This whodunit teems with larger-than-life characters…Yet this is also, in part, a historical novel, with landmark events (often not seen as being contemporaneous to one another)…all breathing life into Ribchester’s London’
‘A tale of murder, subversion, class and the fight for equality…A most enjoyable read’ (NAOMI FRISBY)
‘A glorious tome encapsulating the London of 1912 set amidst suffragettes and circuses’
‘A fascinating historical mystery from a talented new author…fascinating historical detail and brilliant description’
‘Lucy Ribchester’s The Amber Shadows is a spooky and complex psychological thriller set in Bletchley Park during the second world war. Atmospheric and engaging’ (Ian Rankin on The Amber Shadows)
