The butcher's daughter : the hitherto untold story of Mrs. Lovett / by Demchuk, David,author.; Clark, Corinne Leigh,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."London, England, 1887: At the abandoned apartment of a missing young woman, a dossier of evidence is collected, ordered chronologically, and sent to the Chief Inspector of the London Police for review. It contains a curious correspondence between an inquisitive journalist, Miss Emily Gibson, and the woman Gibson thinks may be the infamous Mrs. Lovett -- Sweeney Todd's accomplice, who baked men into pies and sold them in her pie shop on Fleet Street.

Rumors have swirled about Mrs. Lovett since the disappearance of hundreds of unwitting men decades prior -- but is it actually Lovett, even if the suspected woman swears against it? As the woman relays the harrowing account of her life -- from her upbringing on Butcher's Row, in the unruly and perilous streets of Victorian London, to her daring escape from a mad doctor -- the correspondence unlocks an intricate mystery that brings Miss Gibson closer to the truth, even as that truth may cost her dearly. The Butcher's Daughter is a breathtaking epistolary journey, an inventive horror novel that sets the stage for the terrors of the modern era -- and, at long last, unravels the true story behind Mrs. Lovett and her unspeakable crimes"--
