Book excerpt: Set mainly in London just after the Napoleonic Wars, Daughter of the Game is a fast-paced and involving historical thriller. Charles and Melanie Fraser are the perfect aristocratic couple: handsome, wealthy, powerful, accomplished, they are the envy of their friends and the toast of London society. But on a cold November evening in 1819 their six-year-old son Colin is kidnapped from their Berkeley Square home, and their perfect jewel-box of a life is shaken to the core. Catapulted into a desperate race against time to save their child, Charles and Melanie must enter London's gritty underworld, for somewhere in the high-class brothels and disreputable gambling dens lies the key to Colin's release.
