London, 1883. 125 Gower Street was once a house of justice, truth, and perspicacity. Now madness, murder, and scandal lurk in its empty halls. It is rumored that its owner—Sidney Grice, London’s foremost personal detective—has been driven to the brink of despair. But, as with all good stories, we must begin at the beginning.
When Sidney Grice journeys to Yorkshire to solve a mysterious death, March Middleton, his ward, is left to her own devices in a London swarming with danger and vice. Curiosity, as we know, has a dark edge. So when an intriguing letter leads March to the gates of the palatial Saturn Villa and into the nightmarish world of her long-lost uncle, it could be the beginning of an end for all.

“This third book of the Gower Street Detective series is so eccentrically characterized, oddly appointed with the creatively bizarre, and rich with frightful detail that one can barely look away from the page…Just about as entertaining as novel-reading gets.”
