Vengeance Street

An utterly gripping crime thriller

By: Louise Sharland

A disgraced probation officer’s clients are falling victim to a vicious killer—but will anyone believe what she has to say? Grace Midwinter is at breaking point. Following a dreadful mistake at work, her career as a probation officer is hanging by a thread. Then her clients start dying in grotesque and premeditated ways. When one ex-offender is beaten and dumped in the harbor, and another grisly corpse is discovered soon afterward, Grace can’t help but dredge up her recent past. Rumors swirl about conspiracies and vendettas, some of which involve Grace and her colleagues. Grace discovers that the deaths have been made to look like the sordid results of a gangland turf war but are actually hiding something else. Can she persuade the people in power that her suspicions could be correct? Grace knows she’s in trouble. She just doesn’t realise how deep. If only she could tell her friends from her enemies . . . “A fresh new talent.” —Phoebe Morgan, author of The Babysitter on The Lake

Child Sexual Abuse in Victorian England

By: Louise A. Jackson

Child Sexual Abuse in Victorian England is the first detailed investigation of the way that child abuse was discovered, debated, diagnosed and dealt with in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The focus is placed on the child and his or her experience of court procedure and welfare practice, thereby providing a unique and important evaluation of the treatment of children in the courtroom. Through a series of case studies, including analyses of the criminal courts, the author examines the impact of legislation at grass roots level, and demonstrates why this was a formative period in the legal definition of sexual abuse. Providing a much-needed insight into Victorian attitudes, including that of Christian morality, this book makes a distinctive contribution to the history of crime, social welfare and the family. It also offers a valuable critique of current work on the history of children's homes and institutions, arguing that the inter-personal relationships of children and carers is a crucial area of study.
