Vojtěch Kundela | 16 comments Love the series and I am looking for some books like it. By that, I mean a similar setting (~1920 England), gangs, violence, etc.

Also, it is not limited to historical fiction only, magic, steampunk, supernatural elements, etc. are also welcome.

Just to specify, I am looking for fiction, not documentary books about gangs.

Thanks in advance and have a great day :)

It's a duology and one of the best books out there!
