The Mystery of Madam Yin
by Nathan Winters
Inspector Celeste Summersteen is leaving Chicago to travel to London with young Dorothea Ellingsford. It may seem that she is merely accompanying the girl back to her family, whereas her real task is much more precarious: one of Dorothea’s friends was murdered and Celeste has to find the murderer and protect Dorothea, who now appears to be in danger herself. When the corpse of the opium queen of the East End, Madame Yin, is found in the river Thames, Celeste is drawn deep into the hidden parts of society. She gets support from Inspector Edwards, who at the beginning does everything but helping her.
