"An outstanding entry in an excellent historical-mystery series
that deserves more attention" - Booklist Starred Review Detective
Inspector Tom Harper finds answers hard to come by in his latest,
most challenging, investigation to date. Leeds, England. March,
1895. The day after his release from prison, petty criminal Henry
White is found stabbed to death at his terraced home on Copper
Street. Pursuing enquiries in a neighbourhood where people are
suspicious of strangers and hostile to the police, DI Tom Harper
and his team find the investigation hard going. If anyone knows
anything about Henry White's murder - or the robbery that landed
him in gaol in the first place - they are unable or unwilling to
say. At the same time, acid is thrown over a young boy in a local
bakery in a seemingly unprovoked attack. Praying for a
breakthrough, Harper knows that he must uncover the motive in each
case if he is to have any chance of catching the culprits. Of one
thing he is certain: if he doesn't find answers soon, more deaths
will follow.
