Description

The killing of a hooker called Ada McKinley in a room on decrepit Pentecost Street should occasion no-stir in Victoria’s fantastic city, but underneath the victim’s physique, law enforcement look for a Hellfire Membership logo engraved with the name “Finlay Fitzjames”—a name that immediately attracts Superintendent Thomas Pitt in to the situation. Finlay’s father—immensely rich, strong, and dangerous—refuses to think about the chance that his child has been around Ada McKinley’s mattress. The inference is obvious: Pitt would be to charge somebody apart from Finlay Fitzjames for Ada’s death. But Thomas Pitt isn't a guy to be discouraged, and with the aid of his quick witted partner, Charlotte, he stubbornly pursues his investigation—one that twists and turns like London’s own historic roads.
