London will burn, and fire shall reign!
London, 1888. The city is choking on fog, fear, and whispers of murder. Inspector Morven Flint finds himself drawn into a death where there are no signs of who the murderer is. A woman's body is found where fierce flames have left nothing but an incinerated corpse. Yet the furnishings around her are barely touched. There is no smoke. The rest of the room is undamaged. In addition, there is no clear motive for the death of the woman and little evidence to point to the identity of the murderer. All that is left is a charred corpse and a strange ledger bound in human skin.
Inspectors Morven Flint and Edwin Locke have their work cut out for them this time, for the widow's ledger is a mystery that does not want to be unravelled. Colleagues old and new set out to scour Victorian London in search of the perpetrator so that justice can be served. Their search will take them from the streets of Whitechapel to the slums and opium dens of Limehouse and beyond. It is as they undertake their search that they begin to realise that the ledger is much more than a journal or ordinary book, for within it lies something that will do everything it can to escape, and once free, then London will burn, and fire shall reign!
The second instalment in The Flint & Locke Mysteries descends once more into the fog-choked streets of Victorian London, where life is cheap and the dead refuse to rest.
When murder hides behind respectable doors and whispers of the supernatural stir in every shadow, Inspectors Flint and Locke must confront forces that defy reason-and reckon with the darkness within themselves.
Some names are written in ink - others are written in fire.
