Sin of Pride

I the village of Walmsley, May is a well-respected teacher until an act of kindness is misconstrued. It leads to a chain of events that hurtles her into a very different life; one of poverty and danger.
The area around Dick Street is notorious for crime. It is peopled by thieves, beggars, ruffians and prostitutes; a place that even the police are loathe to go. and the biggest ruffian of all is Jack Liver.
When his attention settles on May, she is caught up in murder, abduction and violence. It is only her courage and determination that enables her to survive.
