A thrilling tale of murder and intrigue in Victorian London, presenting Detective Harry Pilgrim. Ideal for followers of Ripper Block and The Mangle Block Murders. London, 1850. A city of contrasts. Of technological marvels, poverty, disease and fatality. When Detective Sergeant Harry Pilgrim (one of London's first police force detectives) discovers the corpse of a woman in a Hackney cab, the truth seems straightforward - until the only suspect is found murdered in his cell. Pilgrim is hindered in his analysis by his own dark history - a dead son and a absent wife - and also by the well-meaning disturbance of Charles Dickens, who is serialising Pilgrim's adventures in his journal Home Words. The truth becomes a deadly game of feline and mouse. But who is the feline and who the mouse?
