When Mollie Delamere takes on a job as a pearl-broker for a London jeweller, she little anticipates the danger in which she is placing herself. But she soon finds that her new profession puts her directly in the sights of dangerous criminals, who will stop at nothing to secure the valuables under her care. First published in 1899, these thrilling stories reveal the precarious situation in which late-Victorian women often found themselves in their struggle for personal freedom and autonomy.
