1889. One year on from Jack the Ripper, a new killer stalks London's streets . . . But he has not reckoned on Scotland Yard's newly formed Murder Squad and the team of new-recruit Walter Day and the world's first forensic pathologist, Dr Kingsley . . . 'Shiver-inducingly creepy. A racy read . . . written with shocking clarity.' Daily Express 'Luciously rich.' Jeffrey Deaver 'Throw in deranged prostitutes, poisonings and throat slittings galore, amidst lashings of London fog. Gory, lurid and tons of guilty fun.' Guardian

Slow at first but about halfway through it picks up and gets good. Great book, interesting characters.
