Publisher's Synopsis
London, 1884: things are returning to normal at 125 Gower Street. Sidney Grice is engrossed in the finite points of tree frog dissection, his ward, March Middleton, is of sound mind once again, but the household is strangely quiet. So, when a young woman turns up at the door, imploring London's foremost personal detective to solve the mystery of her father's murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee. Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, with no trace of a weapon or intruder. But what piques Sidney's interest is the crime's link to one of London's most notorious unsolved murders.
