From the publisher
From Charles Finch, the acclaimed author of the Charles Lenox series of mysteries, including the Agatha-nominated novel "A Beautiful Blue Death," comes a riveting short story of death and detection in the east end of London.
It’s the end of winter 1865 when Lenox agrees to investigate the death of Phil Jigg, a beloved neighbourhood regular, found strangled on Great St. Andrews Street. In a case that takes him through the noisy vendors and pickpockets, the rough-and-tumble back alleys and local pubs of the Seven Dials area, Lenox looks for answers in a place that couldn’t feel more foreign from his west end home—and where his presence is anything but welcome. The answer comes in the person of someone so ruthless and brutal that those who could help Lenox are terrified into silence.
A whodunit filled with the kind of brooding atmosphere that led 'Library Journal' to remark, “Readers of Anne Perry should be snatching up Finch’s books and clamoring for more.” This is a delightfully vivid addition to the Charles Lenox series.
