Description
London, 1880. A series of gruesome murders attributed to the mysterious Limehouse Golem strikes fear into the heart of the capital. Inspector John Kildare must track down the brutal serial killer in the damp, dark alleyways of riverside London. But how does Dan Leno, music hall star extraordinaire, become implicated in the crimes, and what is Elizabeth Cree, on trial for the murder of her husband, hiding? Peter Ackroyd brings Victorian London to life in all its grit and glory, taking readers from the glamour of the music hall to the slums of the East End and introducing figures including George Gissing and Karl Marx.
