A sealed compartment. An empty abattoir. A dead banker cast onto the marsh.
On a fog-choked October night in 1888, the 9:50 suburban express from Fenchurch Street pulls into the Hackney sidings. When the railway guard inspects composite carriage 412, he recoils from a scene of unbridled horror: the horsehair cushions are saturated with arterial crimson, shattered glass is smeared with gore, and the offside carriage door swings loose in the dark.
Mr. Alistair Penhaligon, chief audit comptroller of the venerable Lombard & Dominion Banking Syndicate, has vanished without a trace-only for his battered corpse to be discovered an hour later along the railway embankment between Bow and Hackney Wick.
Scotland Yard moves with swift, complacent triumph. When a pawned gold Albert chain leads Inspector Lestrade straight to a terrified Saxon journeyman tailor in Stepney, possessing the victim's silver cigar-case and a steamship ticket for America, the case appears closed. The public bays for blood, terrified of the new Abattoir of the Rail.
Yet Sherlock Holmes refuses to accept the obvious.
Looking past the crude, planted clues of the East End gutters, Holmes fixates on two contradictory relics recovered from the scene of the crime: a battered beaver hat whose modified brim defies the cranium of the arrested tailor, and a pristine, triangular offcut of white sumac-tanned calf-shagreen.
Armed with a magnifying lens, the immutable laws of human anatomy, and the specialized geometry of an eccentric craftsman's crescent-knife, Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson follow a trail of microscopic clues from the damp vaults of Bow carriage sheds to the ancient guilds of Minories Lane. There, behind the polished granite pillars of high finance, lurks a predatory intellect spinning a web of embezzlement, betrayal, and cold-blooded murder.
