The Cockney Angel
East London, 1865. Irene Angel is burdened by her father Billy’s gambling and the debts that draw the family into the attention of criminals and police. When events lead towards Newgate Prison, Irene must negotiate a world in which poverty itself is treated as evidence of guilt.
Her determination to rescue her father exposes her to men who use violence and obligation to control the neighbourhood. Irene’s survival depends on separating genuine loyalty from manipulation and finding a way to protect her family without sharing its ruin.
