"The second in a series of gripping, elegantly executed Victorian mysteries in the tradition of" The Dante Club" and" The Somnambulist London swelters in June 1858, and trouble is brewing. Scotland Yard calls on forensic scientist Adolphus Hatton and his trusty assistant, Albert Roumande to help stop a series of violent murders of seemingly unconnected people, linked by the same macabre calling card. The investigators, who have a morgue full of cholera victims--all Irish, the poorest of the poor--must also unravel a bombing campaign led by agitator and priest Father O'Brian and his gang of would-be terrorists. Meanwhile Hatton finds himself falling under the spell of a beautiful woman. As the kaleidoscope of outlandish characters, dockside strikes, bomb blasts and violent retribution reaches a crescendo, Hatton's skills are tested to the limit, taking readers from the wildflower meadows of Kent to an island with a shipwreck and a secret on a nail-biting race against time.
