June, 1890. Leeds is close to breaking point. The gas workers are
on strike. Supplies are dangerously low. Factories and businesses
are closing; the lamps are going unlit at night. Detective
Inspector Tom Harper has more urgent matters on his mind. The beat
constable claims eight-year-old Martha Parkinson has disappeared.
Her father insists she's visiting an aunt in Halifax - but Harper
doesn't believe him. When Col Parkinson is found dead the following
morning, the case takes on an increasing desperation. But then
Harper's search for Martha is interrupted by the murder of a
replacement gas worker, stabbed to death outside the Town Hall
while surrounded by a hostile mob. Pushed to find a quick solution,
Harper discovers that there's more to this killing than meets the
eye - and that there may be a connection to Martha's disappearance.
