A rich evocative thriller set in the seething vitality of 1890s New York by the author of THE ALIENIST.

Kriminalroman som udspilles i New York anno 1896 og handler om en galning, der myrder trækkerdrenge. Politidirektør (senere præsident) Theodore Roosevelt får hjælp til oprydningen i et korrumperet miljø af psykiateren Laszlo Kreizler

The bestselling author of The Alienist and Angel of Darkness puts a very special spin on a mystery thriller set in the near future.

Reissue of this ground-breaking historical whodunnit, in which 1890s New York is as much a character as the investigators

Mycroft Holmes, charged with ensuring the personal safety of Queen Victoria, calls on his brother for help when a number of attempts have been made on her life and when two unexplained deaths occur amongst the staff at her Scottish residencies. Accompanied by Dr Watson, Sherlock Holmes goes north by train, examining the few facts Mycroft has been able to cryptically supply. To Watson's bafflement he is sure there is a link between these deaths and the murder in the old royal apartments at Holyrood of the secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots: a killing which left a bloodstain that daily refreshes itself and in a room where voices can be heard in the darkest hours of the night. Can Holmes's extraordinary deductive powers solve the historical crime as well as the contemporary one? An original, beautifully crafted mystery story which is also a respectful homage to the master of the whodunnit.
