The second in a series of pacy, mystery-adventure stories, set in the seamy, smoggy underworld of Victorian London.

To find out, Wild Boy and Clarissa must catch the killer. Their hunt will lead them from the city's vilest slums to its grandest palaces, and to a darkness at the heart of its very highest society.
