Season of Death

About the book

Private enquiry agents Cyrus Barker and Thomas Llewelyn are thrust into the dangerous world of Victorian England when powerful forces conspire to seize control of London's criminal underworld. Barker, experienced and well-connected, has faced numerous threats before, but nothing compares to the chaos unfolding around him and his partner, Llewelyn.

As a railway tunnel collapses in the East End, killing many and causing widespread disruption, a mysterious beggar known as 'Dutch' leads Barker and Llewelyn on a trail of intrigue involving a wealthy aristocrat's sinister plot. With distractions like a missing heiress and a riot at a women's shelter hindering their progress, Barker must navigate through the chaos to uncover the truth, while Llewelyn questions the beggar woman's role in the unfolding disaster.
