The Murderer Inside the Mirror

About the book

Once again, the cunning Fitzglen family is back with another elaborate plan! The second part of the captivating Theatre of Thieves gothic mystery series takes us back to Victorian England.

Set in London, 1908, the Fitzglens, a prominent theatre family with a penchant for thievery, are strategizing their next move when they receive devastating news of the untimely death of Great Uncle Montague at his residence in Notting Hill.

While Montague's demise leaves a void in the family due to his skills in art forgery, it also presents a unexpected opportunity: the chance to locate his elusive iron box. The contents of this mysterious box, if it exists at all, remain unknown, but Jack Fitzglen is convinced that it must hold something of great value . . . or immense danger. Why else would the enigmatic master of storytelling have kept it such a closely guarded secret?

Jack's discovery of the box surprises him, but its contents shock him even more. Inside is an unpublished play by a renowned Irish playwright, titled The Murderer Inside the Mirror. As Jack delves into the script, he finds himself overwhelmed by a sense of foreboding. Little does he know the perilous journey the manuscript will lead him on - one filled with vengeance, insanity . . . and murder.

This chilling gothic mystery, a continuation of Chalice of Darkness, will capture the attention of readers who enjoy the works of Daphne du Maurier, Laura Purcell, Rebecca James, Sarah Waters, and Stuart Turton.
