Publisher Description

Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad faces the most shocking case of its existence, in the extraordinary new historical thriller from the author of the acclaimed national bestseller The Yard. London, 1890: Four vicious murderers have escaped from prison, part of a plan gone terribly wrong, and now it is up to Walter Day, Nevil Hammersmith, and the rest of Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad to hunt down the convicts before the men can resume their bloody spree. But they might already be too late. The killers have retribution in mind, and one of them is heading straight toward a member of the Murder Squad—and his family. And that isn’t even the worst of it. During the escape, the killers have stumbled upon the location of another notorious murderer, one thought gone for good but now prepared to join forces with them. Jack the Ripper is loose in London once more.

“Grecian has a remarkable way of pulling the reader in and down, into the swirling darkWe do not merely read Grecian’s books; we participate in them. In the end, we emerge from this tale dazed and awed, as though we, too, have been toiling in the black womb of London’s underground. We have glimpsed as through a mirror darkly the bloom of evil, the birth of destruction. We have met the Devil.”

Quotes

  • “Anyone searching for a novel chocked full of blood-letting and guilty pleasures should look no further…This is a skillfully constructed, very satisfying trek into a shadowy netherworld, where light is as sparsely parceled out aboveground as it is below.”

    — Stratton magazine
  • “A historical thriller that moves quickly and surely, bringing Jack the Ripper back from the realm of nightmare to the streets of London…Grecian’s novel is the third in his Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad series. Justice and punishment are the deeper themes, and the characterization is superb. Saucy Jack may be one of the most disturbing characters ever written on the page—again.”

    — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
  • “Grecian has penned the Murder Squad’s best outing yet! Devotees are sure to be delighted, but Grecian’s latest would also make a satisfying introduction to the series.”

    — Library Journal
  • “This third in Grecian’s Murder Squad series again delivers a hard-hitting historical thriller bursting with deft characterizations (especially of series hero Detective Inspector Walter Day) and the author’s knowledge of Victoriana.”
