Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad faces the most shocking case
of its existence, in the extraordinary new historical
thriller from the author of the acclaimed national
bestseller The Yard.
London, 1890: Four vicious murderers have escaped from
prison, part of a plan gone terribly wrong, and now it is
up to Walter Day, Nevil Hammersmith, and the rest of
Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad to hunt down the convicts
before the men can resume their bloody spree. But they
might already be too late. The killers have retribution
in mind, and one of them is heading straight toward a
member of the Murder Squad—and his family.
And that isn’t even the worst of it. During the escape,
the killers have stumbled upon the location of another
notorious murderer, one thought gone for good but now
prepared to join forces with them.
