Description
A gripping historical crime thriller set in Victorian London. In 1882, lawyer Cage Lackmann is forced to find a man he defended five years earlier against murder charges - Moses Pickering, who now seems to have killed again. A body bearing disturbing similarities to the original victim has been found, and Pickering is missing. Cage's reputation hangs in the balance as he must prove his innocence. As Cage searches for Pickering, he must navigate a complex web of intrigue and deception. With the bitter detective who led the first failed case now implicating him in the new murder, Cage's options are dwindling. Did he free a brutal murderer, or is there something more sinister at play? Claire Evans' darkly atmospheric novel is packed with intrigue, romance, and witty prose. If you enjoy historical crime thrillers with complex characters and plot twists, this book may be for you.
