The Welfare of the Dead

by Lee Jackson

MysteryFantasy

2005

In the disreputable dance-halls and 'houses of accommodation' of 1870s London, a boastful killer selects his prey. His crimes seem like random acts of malevolence, but Inspector Decimus Webb is not convinced. He uncovers layer and layer of deceit, but can he unearth the darkest secret before tragedy strikes?
