Unfit to Print<\/em><\/a> (2018) KJ Charles<\/a>
\n\"Unfit<\/a>Set in London in the late Victorian<\/p>\n

Prostitution and exploitation were words Vikram thought should be shouted aloud, along with poverty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gil had spent his childhood here under his father\u2019s 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\u2019d died. That was more than many would have done. Gil had been christened with his mother\u2019s surname and inherited her looks; Pa could well have avoided presenting the county with a brown-skinned proof of his misbehaviour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cPeople are flawed. That doesn\u2019t negate the rule of law.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIf flawed people invent laws, and flawed people apply \u2019em, what sort of law do you think you get?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Characters<\/strong>: Gilbert Lawless, Vikram Pandey, Percival Lawes, Jessamy Lawes, Horace Lawes, Mr. Glaister, Arabella Gupta, Anand Gupta, Sunil Gupta, Annie Driver, Thomas Oswald, Inspector Ellis, Errol<\/p>\n
