1888

Ruined by poker bets, disappeared for six months, embittered and ill, detective Ethan Brandt returns to the capital of England in the autumn of 1888. His arrival creates tension in London society, as none of the high-ranking officials know whose... dossier will be gathered this time and who will once again become a participant in a fake crime. Ethan himself does not wish to return to the circle of aristocrats, but he will still be drawn into a bloody conflict between them and reluctantly engage in the investigation of gruesome murders that plunged the wet, intoxicating, and gloomy London into shock and horror for many months.
Interrogating witnesses and trying to rid himself of the interference of the police commissioner and the new detective, Mr. Brandt will be forced to delve not only into the origins of the committed crime but also to bring to light deeply hidden facts about the biographies of his old acquaintances, involved in the anxiety that engulfed every dark corner of the city.
