Description
October 1907, East London. A mask maker works painstakingly to rebuild injured faces out of painted copper alloy, until he is brutally murdered at his workbench. The police suspect a burglary gone wrong, but when a much more high-profile killing shocks the city just weeks later, one man is convinced the two crimes are connected. Somehow it falls to Harry Catcliffe, a dissolute young industrialist with a gift for being in the wrong place, to try and discover the truth. Reluctantly paired with an unhinged ex-marine on a quest for revenge, Harry's investigation takes him from the great country houses of Surrey to the carbolic-scented back alleys of Limehouse, as he realises that the masks he really needs to watch out for are the ones made of flesh and blood.
Shortlisted for the Bridport First Novel Prize in 2018, this darkly humorous historical crime novel is set in a vividly grimy Edwardian London, with a twisty storyline that'll keep you guessing right to the end.
