Blood in the Pier Tower (Paperback)

Paperback. Greenwich, 1867.The harbour smells of tar and coal, the Thames flows beneath low skies, and the clock tower stands watch like an ancient guardian. When a woman's body is found in the tower, mutilated with a ferocity that defies all logic, the apparent calm of the dockyard is shattered.The investigation winds through the foggy river and the city's alleys, passing through respectable salons and smoky taverns, until it reaches distant lands and a past that many would have liked to bury.In a web of suspicion, secrets and old ties, every truth has its price. And in Greenwich that winter, no one is safe from the truth. This item is printed on demand.
