The troubled head of the Detective Branch returns, in an intriguing case of kidnap, rebellion and murder...
The body of a vagrant is discovered in a ditch in County Tipperary. Knox, a young Irish policeman with divided loyalties is told that the landowner wants the case dealt with swiftly and quietly. However, when Knox examines the corpse, he realises that this supposed vagrant was wearing a Savile Row suit . . .
Three months earlier, Detective Inspector Pyke was investigating a kidnapping in Wales. The crime seems to be linked to a group of rebels, but Pyke soon suspects the case is not as clear cut as it seems.
What are the links between the rebellion in Wales and the unrest in Ireland - and has Pyke finally bitten off more than he can chew?

Review:
A story of high intrigue and low politics, brutal murder and cunning conspiracies ... Tangy and rambunctious stuff―OBSERVER
The novel drips with all the atmospheric detail of a pre-Victorian murder mystery - "pea-soupers", dingy lanterns and laudanum―THE TIMES
Pyke is violent, vengeful and conflicted in the best tradition of detectives. His story takes in grisly murder and torture, and uses 1800s London in the same way that hard-boiled fiction uses Los Angeles as a mirror of a corrupt society―TIME OUT
Pyke is an intriguingly unfathomable character, and this is an excellent continuation of his dark journey―FINANCIAL TIMES
Gripping and atmospheric―DAILY EXPRESS
