"The locked room mystery to end all locked room mysteries!" - Sophia Bennett.
Provocative, gripping historical fiction, inspired by an incredible true story of female convicts
London, 1841.
The Rajah sails for Australia.
On board are 180 women convicted of petty crimes.

Until the murder.
As the fearful hunt for a killer begins, everyone on board is a suspect . . .
