A sex worker is then found brutalised, and Violet receives at her address a mannequin, resembling herself, stabbed through the heart. With the town of Montford in meltdown, Violet knows that the answers wait at Maccabee House, that lies in the shadow of the old tannery. But with the killer's sights firmly on her, can she make it out alive? An enthralling and gripping Victorian crime caper from the bestselling author of the Gower Street Detective series.
