In the gripping new novel by the author of The Fourteenth Letter, a lawyer in Victorian London must find a man he got off a murder charge - and who seems to have killed again . . . Victorian London, 1882. Five years ago, crusading lawyer Cage Lackmann successfully defended Moses Pickering against a charge of murder. Now, a body is found bearing all the disturbing hallmarks of that victim - and Pickering is missing. Did Cage free a brutal murderer? Cage's reputation is in tatters, and worse, he is implicated in this new murder by the bitter detective who led the first failed case. Left with no other alternative, Cage must find Pickering to prove his innocence. His increasingly desperate search takes him back to the past, to a woman he never thought to see again, and down into a warren of lies and betrayals concealed beneath Holland Park mansions and the mean streets of Whitechapel - where a murderer, heartbreak and revenge lie in wait.

I throughly enjoyed this dark Victorian murder mystery. Full of gothic atmosphere, suspense and intriguing. The perfect mix of historical fiction and a thriller; it had so many twists and turns!! Really good! 👍

Four times I was tempted to Bail but I stubbornly continued to the end. With some of the characters from The 'Fourteenth Letter' appearing in this novel to give it a familiar feel it was not to my liking. Well written with a cast that all had something to hide or had sinned in one way or another I found it to be utterly depressing. Centered around the trials and tribulations of the Lawyer, Cage Lackmann there is just too much self indulgence.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

This historical mystery hits all the right notes and has an anti hero as the lead.

I thought this was an excellently written historical mystery. The reader finds themselves immersed in the darker side of Victorian London. To say the MC is a flawed character is an understatement, but you find yourself on his side. 4🌟

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Little Brown Book Group / Sphere, for the opportunity to read an a ARC. #NetGalley

Very atmospheric and dark historical crime fiction set in 1882 London. Our central character, Cage Lackmann, is a lawyer who struggles with being bought and paid for by a Ukrainian crime lord. He is tasked with solving the murder of a young man with circumstances eerily similar to a case 5 years prior of which his client was acquitted. There‘s a little of everything here...lurid secrets, double cross, and a plot that is both twisty and complex. 🔻

robinb And while I did feel the story was overly drawn out, I was utterly drawn in by the richly imagined characters and historical detail. Every single character is flawed in a myriad of ways, and the sense of impending doom that overlays the entire book heightens the anticipation of...will they or won‘t they be redeemed?
Very well done even though a bit of an exhausting read. 4.5/5⭐️ (edited) 5y
