The year is 1855. The Crimean war is raging. The British government
has fallen. The Empire itself hangs in the balance. And then the
murders start... Someone is targeting members of London's elite -
leaving with each corpse the names of men who failed to assassinate
Queen Victoria. It's clear that Victoria will be the ultimate
victim. As the notorious Opium-Eater Thomas De Quincey and his
daughter Emily race to save her, they uncover the heart-breaking
past of a man whose lust for revenge has destroyed his soul. Based
on actual attempts to assassinate the queen, Inspector of the Dead
brilliantly merges fact with fiction, bringing a bloody chapter of
Victorian England to vivid, pulse-pounding life.
