About this listen

London, 1882. Alec Lonsdale, a young reporter on the Pall Mall Gazette, is working on a story about a fatal house fire. But the postmortem on the victim produces shocking results: Patrick Donovan's death was no accident. But why would someone murder a humble shop assistant and steal part of his brain?

When a second body is discovered, its throat cut, and then a third, Lonsdale and his spirited female colleague, Hulda Friederichs, begin to uncover evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of Victorian society.

I think this is the first book I've read by Simon Beaufort, but I can't wait to read more. It is fast paced, very exciting, and action packed throughout. There are believable characters who all have a place in this thrilling story. Don't miss out. Brilliantly read by Jonathan Keeble, who brings the story, and the characters, to life. Awesome listen.
