Dangerous to Know

July 1841, St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall Torkard.
Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron’s former mistress, has just laid her mother to rest before heading back to Europe. However, a secret passed to Claire at the funeral has raked up painful memories about their scandalous affair and a nagging conviction that she must uncover the truth. Resolving she cannot do this alone, Claire co-opts her stepsister, Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’ to help. After all, Mary was part of the Byron set; she’ll know what to do.
However, the past is sordid, murky and digging for answers requires getting your hands dirty. And are they prepared for what will be unearthed?
