Wendel Street: (1918-1948) John A. Reid

Three children residing in Wendel Street mansions during WW1 are taken from their homes and begin suffering abuse. One of the children, from the age of six, starts working in a bordello as well as helping with farmwork. He copes with often daily brawls between drunken clients over drug-addicted prostitutes, then a few months after his twentieth birthday, he discovers a prostitute's body beneath a pile of rubble behind the bordello. The murder remains unsolved for weeks as the tension grows because the killer lives in the bordello. A year after that murder, he is reunited with the other two adults whom had lived in Wendel Street as children, then he begins a new and much better life with one of them in a Wendel Street mansion at the start of WW2.
