Unfit to Print (2018) KJ Charles

Set in London in the late Victorian

Prostitution and exploitation were words Vikram thought should be shouted aloud, along with poverty.

Gil had spent his childhood here under his father’s carelessly affectionate eye. The old man might have played the fool, or the knave, with his housemaid, but he had never failed in his financial obligations to their son, and had formally acknowledged Gil his own when she’d died. That was more than many would have done. Gil had been christened with his mother’s surname and inherited her looks; Pa could well have avoided presenting the county with a brown-skinned proof of his misbehaviour.

“People are flawed. That doesn’t negate the rule of law.”

“If flawed people invent laws, and flawed people apply ’em, what sort of law do you think you get?”
