Summary
From the Number One bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes. Delve into a gaslit London, where Jack the Ripper is making headlines, but another, much more dangerous, madman is on the loose.
When a rotting torso is discovered in the vault of New Scotland Yard, it doesn’t take Dr Thomas Bond, Police Surgeon, long to realise that there is a second killer at work in the city where, only a few days before, Jack the Ripper brutally murdered two women in one night.

A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller
A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller - Guardian
A huge amount of horrible fun - Big IssueThe grim atmosphere of fear and spiritual malaise afflicting London is evoked well - SFX MagazineA taut historical crime/horror that grasps you from the first page and holds you inexorably. If you enjoy John Connolly’s blend of the supernatural and crime, then don’t miss this! - Sci-Fi BulletinThis is deliciously inventive stuff, delivered with the narrative nous and sense of atmosphere that lifts Mayhem above the raft of many similar novels - Crime TimeThe supernatural element adds atmosphere in the way Conan Doyle used the spectral beast in The Hound of the Baskervilles. A novel, by the way, in whose company this excellent book belongs - Crime Fiction LoversA very well-crafted chiller … Pinborough successfully manoeuvres her story away from well-worn territory for a highly entertaining blend of crime procedural and Gothic horror - SciFi NowA bloody cracking thriller that sucks you in and spits you back out! - So Many Books, So Little TimeAbout The Author
