Goodnight lady

by Martina Cole

The infamous Briony Cavanagh ran a string of the most notorious brothels in the East End, patronised by peers and politicians - even royalty, some said. Only Briony knew what went on behind those thick velvet curtains and closed doors. Only Briony knew the hard and painful road she'd travelled - from an impoverished childhood, she had schemed and manipulated, determined to be mistress of her own fate. But her flourishing business brought her into contact with the darker side of life. Along with her material success came risk and danger. And the Goodnight Lady had her own secet place, a place in her heart that was always shadowed with loss.
