The House on Vesper Sands

О книге

In Victorian London, poor women are vanishing, and rumours abound of a shadowy gang known as the Spiriters. In the unfamiliar streets of Soho, Gideon Bliss sets out in search of his lost love. From a ledge above Mayfair a seamstress jumps to her death, a mysterious message stitched into her own skin. Nearby, her aristocratic employer makes an abrupt exit from a gala ball, with society columnist Octavia Hillingdon in pursuit. And on the sullen Kent shore, as the darkness gathers, secrets lie hidden at the house on Vesper Sands.
