Introducing 19th-century private investigators Matthew Grand and
James Batchelor in the first of a brand-new historical mystery
series. April, 1865. Having been an eye witness to the
assassination of President Lincoln, Matthew Grand, a former captain
of the 3rd Cavalry of the Potomac, has come to London on an
undercover assignment to hunt down the last of the assassin's
co-conspirators. Ambitious young journalist Jim Batchelor has been
charged with writing a feature article on the visiting American,
with the aim of getting the inside story on the assassination. Both
men are distracted from their missions by the discovery of a body
behind the Haymarket Theatre in London's Soho district. It's the
latest in a series of grisly garrottings by a killer known as the
Haymarket Strangler. As Grand and Batchelor team up to pursue their
investigations through the dark underbelly of Victorian London, it
becomes clear that there may be a disturbing connection between the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Haymarket Strangler.
