The Hanged Man Rises

A creepy supernatural thriller set in Victorian London, by a talented debut author.

When their parents are killed in a fire, Titus Adams and his little sister, Hannah, are left to fend for themselves in the cruel and squalid slums of Victorian London. Taking shelter with his friend and savior, Inspector Pilbury, Titus should feel safe. But though the inspector has just caught and hung a notorious child-murder, the murders haven’t stopped. Now everyone is a suspect, even the inspector himself, and unless Titus can find a way to end the killings, he will lose all that is dear to him.

For this evil cannot be contained, even by death…
