In the latest adventure in what is "fast becoming one of the
genre's best historical-mystery series" (Booklist),
roughhewn private enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his
assistant Thomas Llewelyn must track down London's first
serial killer. When Barker and Llewelyn are hired to find a girl from the
upper classes who has gone missing in the East End, they
assume her kidnapping is the work of white slavers. But when
they discover five girls have been murdered in Bethnal
Green, taunting letters begin to arrive in Craig's Court
from a killer calling himself Mr. Miacca. Barker fears that Miacca might be part of the Hellfire Club,
a group of powerful, hedonistic aristocrats performing
Satanic rituals. He must track the fiend to his hideout,
while Llewelyn confronts the man who put him in prison.
