Description
In the darkness, a figure glimmers like polished bone. A plague is coming to London, and with it, fear and dread. Cholera, the 'blue death', spares no one. When a dead man is found in a brothel, Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain are called to investigate. As they search for answers, they uncover family secrets that lead them to the secretive Mortmain family at Blackwater Hall. But with autumn approaching, no one is safe from the poisonous sickness that brings an evil presence - the perfect shroud for murder. The search takes them underground, into the passages and tunnels beneath the city's streets. In this complex and substantial tale of corruption and disease, poverty and decadence, Jem and Will must navigate a deadly web to uncover the truth.
