Boys are going missing from London's slums . . .
London, 1849
When a boy is found drowned in the River Thames at Hungerford Stairs, novelist Charles Dickens and Superintendent Jones of Bow Street are mystified to discover that the child is not the missing youngster for whom they have been searching. As Dickens and Jones delve deeper into London's poverty-stricken backstreets, they stumble across two more bodies.
A serial killer is on the loose. And Charles is terrified that someone close to him may be one of the victims. With a strange image of a mask sketched next to the corpses, could the murderer be leaving a trail for the detectives to follow . . . ?
Or will the Death at Hungerford Stairs remain unsolved . . . ?
