Amelia is a rather unladylike lady, stifled by Victorian society, whose primary source of entertainment is consorting with low criminals and swindling her peers out of as much of their money as she can. She cannot abide her uncle, the family patriach (a boor and a great one for rules) but eventually her antics push him too far- and he contracts to have her murdered. Fortuitously, the man he's hired for the job is the boss of Amelia's closest lowlife friends, and she is forewarned… but will that do her any good? Funny story, charming art (with some lovely architecture/settings), and likable characters!
