But more than anything, she wants to find her mother Lily, who disappeared from Hastings Pier 10 years earlier. \n\nFinding the missing is no job for a lady, but when Violet hires a seaside detective to help, she sets off a chain of events that will put more than just her reputation at risk. \n\nCan Violet solve the mystery of Lily Hamilton's vanishing before it's too late?
