Not since the bloody deeds of Jack the Ripper have Londoners felt such terror as that aroused by the gruesome beheadings in Hyde
Park. And if newly promoted Police Superintendent Thomas Pitt does not quickly apprehend the perpetrator, he is likely to lose his
own head, professionally speaking. Yet even with the help of Charlotte Pitt’s subtle investigation, the sinister violence continues
unchecked. And in a shocking turn of events that nearly convinces the pair of sleuths that they have met their match, the case proves
to be Pitt’s toughest ever.
