Description
Sir Maurice Newbury's latest case has taken a dark and unexpected turn. A well-known criminal has been found dead, with a crime scene that eerily mirrors the victim's own modus operandi. As his trusted assistant Miss Veronica Hobbes and friend Bainbridge investigate, they begin to suspect that someone is committing copycat crimes - but how can a dead man be responsible? The case is complex, and Newbury's own personal demons may hold the key to unlocking the truth. Newbury's struggles with opium addiction have been well-documented, but this latest development threatens to consume him. As he navigates the treacherous world of Victorian crime, he must confront his own weaknesses and work to uncover the truth behind the seemingly impossible crime scene. With Bainbridge and Veronica by his side, Newbury sets out to unravel the mystery, navigating a complex web of clues and deceit. Can they solve the case before it's too late, or will Newbury's addiction prove to be his undoing?
