'There is no Light without Darknesse and no Substance without
Shaddowe' So proclaims Nicholas Dyer, assistant to Sir Christopher
Wren and the man with a commission to build seven London churches
to stand as beacons of the enlightenment. But Dyer plans to conceal
a dark secret at the heart of each church - to create a forbidding
architecture that will survive for eternity. Two hundred and fifty
years later, London detective Nicholas Hawksmoor is investigating a
series of gruesome murders on the sites of certain
eighteenth-century churches - crimes that make no sense to the
modern mind . . . 'Chillingly brilliant . . . sinister and
stunningly well executed' Independent on Sunday Peter Ackroyd was
born in London in 1949. A novelist, biographer and historian, he
has been the literary editor of The Spectator and chief book
reviewer for the The Times, as well as writing several highly
acclaimed books including a biography of Dickens and London: The
Biography. He lives in London.
