Synopsis
&“Reeve&’s outstanding third Victorian mystery featuring journalist Leo Stanhope . . . Reeve never makes the amateur sleuthing less than plausible.&” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) &“Cold-hearted murder.&” That&’s what was promised in the anonymous note, and Leo can&’t resist. He may be a working journalist at last, but it&’s a precarious gig, and a good story could bring in the readers. What he finds on Berner Street, though, is a dead body that isn&’t, not to mention a lady wrestler who&’s quite a bit more. The crowd is angry: They like things cut and dried. But Leo knows all about things that are one thing and also another. He&’s got a secret himself, and if he&’s found out, an angry crowd will be the least of his worries. This is Queen Victoria&’s London, and the courts are not kind to young men who are . . . quite a bit more. &“Intriguing and vivid, an excellent addition to a wonderful series&” —The Guardian &“As entertaining a historical mystery as I&’ve read this year&” —NB Magazine, UK &“Reeve weaves a strong storyline built on the twin foundations of good characterisation and impeccable research. Victorian London comes alive in his hands. It&’s dark, dirty, smelly and threatening. It&’s also endlessly fascinating.&” —Crime Review
