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.
Fans of Andrea Penrose, Emily Organ, and Irina Shapiro will be captivated by this intricately plotted mystery.

Jacqueline Beard is a writer and genealogist living in Gloucestershire, with an East Anglian ancestry going back to the 1500s. She writes Victorian murder mysteries and is currently working on books in the Lawrence Harpham and the Constance Maxwell mystery series. Jacqueline’s books are a rare mix of true crime and fiction inspired by old newspaper reports. When Jacqueline is not writing or researching “dead people,” as her husband so charmingly puts it, she is walking in the glorious Cotswolds with her dog. Jacqueline enjoys technology and spends far too much time on her computer. She dislikes flying, dentists and balloons – especially red ones.
