When Peace goes missing a second time, and no one knows where she's gone, it looks as though there's only one thing to do. Lizzy asks TC - her new man and a policeman - to help her find Peace, and the first place they must visit is the dock area in Limehouse...No Peace for the Wicked paints a picture of 1950s Soho so authentic you feel as though you are there...
