Mystery Historical
1828: Sydney is a city built on the backs of exiled
convicts. But in a colony of criminals, how do you narrow
down the list of suspects when a murderer is on the
rampage? Nicodemus Dunne was a London policeman. After being
deported on trumped up charges of assault, he now makes
his living in New South Wales as a running patterer,
spreading the news of the day by word of mouth. Confronted
with a series of gruesome and horribly inventive murders,
the governor seeks out Dunne for his investigative skills
and his ability to infiltrate all levels of society. With
each mutilated body, the murderer has left clues for Dunne
to decipher. Can he put the pieces of the puzzle together
and catch his elusive quarry without becoming prey himself?
