What is Love's Sign? (Josh Walker Investigates Novel Book 1)

Josh Walker is street-wise and tough. He needs to be to survive as a private investigator working in the industrial Midlands of England in the 1880s. He deals with blackmail, corruption and extortion in the back streets of the workshop of the world where prostitutes ply their trade under the watchful eyes of their pimps, whilst respectable gentlemen indulge themselves. Life is hard - only the fittest survive.
Whilst investigating the Elkington family on behalf of a client, Josh doesn't expect to get personally involved with a former friend of the family or draw aside the velvet curtain of Victorian respectability to reveal duplicity, blackmail and murder.
