Jack of Clubs (2011)
Jack of Clubs
“After a spate of successes, the progress toward finding Lottie had ground to a halt. Mr. Rourke told Jack that Bow Street had hit a dead end. They were not giving up, but they were not close to returning the missing heiress to her home and her step-brothers.
At least they had earned their salaries by finally finding Molly Godfrey’s direction. The suspected kidnapper’s sister had left her seamstress job at Drury Lane within a week of the carriage accident that killed Lady Carde, Lottie’s mot...her. The woman had left no address, and had never returned for a visit. An actress from a traveling troupe, though, had passed on to a wardrobe mistress who’d told an aged Macbeth that she’d seen Molly somewhere, with a child.
Everyone suspected the unmarried Molly had found herself in an interesting condition, and left London out of shame, or to find a husband. Bow Street knew she picked up the extortion money from the bank once or twice a year, using the name Mrs.MoreLess
