Dark secrets. Perplexing murders. A tangled puzzle.
Leeds, 1826. Thieftaker Simon Westow is watching Frederick Fox – a local crook who recently returned to Leeds with his wife after receiving a mysterious pardon from the gallows. With the help of his assistants, Jane and Sally, Simon tracks the Foxes to a property in the city – and discovers a body. What is the connection between the dead man and Fox, and is there a link to Fox’s imprisonment? When a brutal killer strikes again, Simon struggles to make sense of the chilling mystery. Nothing adds up as he is drawn into a twisted maze of murder and deception. Can he solve the conundrum before more deaths occur?
This unputdownable historical mystery set in nineteenth-century Leeds is perfect for fans of Anne Perry, Charles Finch, C.S. Harris and Andrea Penrose.
