When a servant's eight-year-old son is kidnapped, Christabel impetuously decided to rescue him—by dressing as a boy and heading into the squalid and crime-ridden streets of The Rocks.

'What begins as a game takes a terrifying turn, as Christabel discovers that the notoriously violent gangs that infest the slums are not the only threat; an outbreak of the deadly bubonic plague is imminent. And when Christabel, too, is kidnapped, the game becomes very dangerous indeed'. (Source: Author's website)
