Overview

In the shadowy streets of Edwardian London, a killer leaves a trail of bodies, and only one man can stop him.

Retired detectives Lawrence and Violet Harpham return to the city for a relaxing holiday, but their peace is shattered when Lawrence begins investigating the murder of Emily Dimmock. As he uncovers more suspicious deaths, an old enemy resurfaces, threatening everything he holds dear.

With Violet distracted by her art lessons with Walter Sickert, Lawrence must confront the killer alone. Jacqueline Beard's eighth installment in the Lawrence Harpham Murder Mystery series weaves a tale of historical intrigue and witchcraft, set against the backdrop of true crimes.
