Book 1
ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE
London, 1889.
The city still shudders beneath the shadow of Jack the Ripper, but a darker menace stirs in its gaslit alleys and along the murky banks of the Thames.
When the bodies of two young women from society’s upper echelons are pulled from the icy river, their deaths are hastily dismissed as self-murders. But Detective Inspector William Long suspects a silent predator prowls London’s decaying heart.
The following day, another body surfaces, but this time the loss cuts too close to ignore. Shattered yet resolute, William is drawn into a labyrinth where science and sorcery blur, where Mesmerism and the dark tenets of Eugenics promise salvation but breed nightmares instead.
At the heart of it all looms Nathaniel Hackett, William’s old adversary, brilliant, malevolent, and always a step ahead. His shadow coils through the case, tightening its grip on William’s mind and pulling him into a web of secrets the city itself seems desperate to bury.
With London poised on the brink of progress yet rotting from within, William must grapple with the horrors of his past, the monster in the mist, and a chilling truth: some enemies refuse to stay buried.
