When Walter Day, the squad s newest hire, is assigned the case of the murdered detective, he finds a strange ally in the�Yard�s first forensic pathologist, Dr. Bernard Kingsley. Together�they track the killer, who clearly is not finished with The Murder�Squad . . . but why? Filled with fascinating period detail, and real historical figures, this spectacular debut in a new series showcases the depravity of late Victorian London, the advent of criminology, and�introduces a stunning new cast of characters sure to appeal to�fans of The Sherlockian and The Alienist. |
