About this audiobook
In the smoke-choked slums of Clerkenwell, the struggle for survival strips humanity down to its rawest elements. Characters fight against a destiny dictated by crushing poverty, where hope is a dangerous luxury and charity is often futile. This is a bleak, uncompromising vision of the urban underclass that refuses to look away from the darkness.
