SYNOPSIS: “1890: A killer stalks the Isle of Faxfleet. Faxfleet – a tiny, independent kingdom on the River Humber in Yorkshire. Faxfleet is inhabited by eccentrics, oddballs and Victorian drop-outs and is ruled by King Ludwig, a man obsessed with creating an academy of geniuses. When one of the academy members is killed by an arrow while climbing a tree, Scotland Yard despatches Inspector Abberline, the world famous ‘Ripper Detective’, and his assistant Thomas Lloyd to investigate. The case is as fascinating as it is perplexing and leads to a series of decidedly peculiar crimes and a thrilling climax that plunges both men into danger.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
