A mute boy. A murdered journalist. A conspiracy written on counterfeit bills.
When Inspector McCurley finds a deaf boy huddled against a corpse, he expects a simple murder case. But the dead man was investigating something that powerful people need buried.
And the boy saw everything.
McCurley turns to Dr Elizabeth Arlington - the one person who might reach the traumatised child. As she coaxes words from the boy's trembling hands, each hard-won revelation draws them deeper into a conspiracy that someone will kill to protect.
The boy knows faces. He knows names. He knows where the bodies are buried.
In a city where money talks and the poor disappear, Arthur's memories are currency someone's willing to kill for.
_________This Victorian noir thriller is perfect for readers who love the gritty realism of The Alienist, seek darker alternatives to Sherlock Holmes, and want their heroines unapologetically dangerous.
The Arlington & McCurley Mysteries are a continuation of the award-winning Kronberg & Holmes series.
