Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross and his wife Lizzie return in
Ann Granger's gripping ninth Victorian mystery. It is the summer of
1871 when Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross pays a visit to Jacob
Jacobus, the old rogue of Limehouse: infamous antiquarian, friend
to villains and informer to the police. Ben hopes to glean
information about any burglaries that might take place now that the
wealthiest echelons of society are back in London for the Season.
Little does he realise that an audacious theft has already occurred
- a priceless family heirloom, the Roxby emerald necklace, has been
stolen from a dressing table in the Roxby residence, and the
widowed Mrs Roxby is demanding its immediate return. Ben's day gets
worse when he and his wife Lizzie are interrupted that evening by
the news that Jacob Jacobus has been found dead in his room with
his throat slit from ear to ear ... Surely the two crimes cannot be
connected? But with Ben's meticulous investigative skills and
Lizzie's relentless curiosity, it is only a matter of time before
the tragic truth is revealed . . .
