London, 1895. A serial killer stalks the capital’s streets. The underresourced police force cannot be expected to solve every crime, and the rich increasingly turn to a celebrated private detective when they need help—Sherlock Holmes.

They turn to Arrowood.

“How I loved this book. Arrowood is an almost infuriatingly absorbing, awkward, and brilliant character. I wanted to start his next mystery with him as soon as I’d finished his first. More than that, Arrowood feels strangely like he’s always existed, we’re only now being treated to an introduction. Mick Finlay’s atmospheric, detailed, singular London is a terrifying place I hope to return to again and again.”
