The East End of London was a difficult place to grow up in during the Victorian era with unemployment and poverty rife in the neighbourhood. Family's forged communities and manufactures forged industries as the grey city landscape grew. The Wheeler's were more fortunate than most for they all had work and their eldest daughter Mary had found skilled employment allowing her the independence to develop into a strong and forceful woman with a wicked streak that would cause mayhem on the dirty streets of London. Mary encounters hardships and tragedy as she establishes her place in the world which shapes her domineering personality. Family relations are strained by the constraints of society and the shame of a wayward child as Mary strives to stamp her remarkable and unforgettable legacy on the world. Inevitably, young gentleman are ensnared by the dangerous beauty and Mary forges a unique friendship that will descend into a secret web of blood and lies. Mary loves as fiercely as she kills. Deep down all Mary craved was a family, a child to love, but that had been viciously stolen from her. The world had forsaken her so she would forsake the world and she would teach them not to squander what they had been given. In the autumn of 1888 London is gripped by the heinous murders of working woman. Prostitutes lay slaughtered as a savage killer taunts the police and instills terror in the local population. Police and vigilantes hunt in vain for the mysterious killer who is ripping their way through the back streets of Whitechapel. Mary has the knowledge that will lead police directly to the killer.Mary's volatile nature is fueled by the experiences of her past as well as her affection for alcohol and her battle with depression. Her blackened heart is inflamed when she meets Frank Hogg. However, her obsession with Frank sees her reach incredible highs only to be crippled by devastating lows as she contends with the mother of his child, the ill-fated Phoebe. Will love conquer all and where will Mary's fate lead her?

This is one of seven books, which comprise the Jill series by Jemma Spark. They're a follow-on of the original Ruby Ferguson Jill books, which were the most popular pony books of their time and translated into many languages. Ostensibly, they are classified as Young Adult, and contain no explicit adult content. However, they fit more neatly into a developing genre with a devoted following called 'Pony Books for Adults'. They are set in the early 1960s and contain little nuggets of interesting historical context of the post-war years. There is also a strong element of horses and ponies, which appeal to the huge population of pony-lovers and horse-lovers. The series includes 'Jill Rides Cross-Country', 'Jill Has Two Horses', 'Jill Goes Pony Trekking', Jill and the Steeplechaser', 'Jill Dreams of a Dressage Horse', 'Jill and the Horsemasters' and 'All Change at Blainstock Stables'. They have consistently achieved 'best-seller' status in their genre on Amazon. A French translation, 'Les Aventures de Jill: Des Ponies aux Chevaux' will be published shortly. This is the first book in the Jill Series by Jemma Spark. Jill Crewe has lived in a perfect world of ponies and gymkhanas in a small English village, Chatton. Discouraged from a career with horses, she is about to reluctantly go off to secretarial college when her life is turned upside down. Her mother announces that she is getting married again and they are going to live in a Scottish Highland castle, with hundreds of acres of moorland, stables, an indoor riding school and a cross-country course. Jill feels that she has to prove her worth as a person, not only to herself, but also to her new-found relations, as she prepares to enter adult equestrian competitions.
