By Gaslight

London, 1885. The discovery of a woman's body on Edgware Road and her severed head in the Thames pushes two men to the brink. One is famed detective William Pinkerton, son of a brutal detective, who descends into the seedy underworld of Victorian London in pursuit of the notorious thief Edward Shade, an elusive criminal his father died trying to catch. The other is Adam Foole, a gentleman without a past, who returns to the city after receiving a letter from a lost beloved from ten years ago. What he learns of her fate, and its connection to the phantom-like Edward Shade, will force him to confront a grief he thought long buried. This epic historical-suspense novel follows the parallel and eventually intertwined hunts of Pinkerton and Foole through the gas-lit streets, opium dens, and séance halls of London, as well as spanning to the diamond mines of South Africa and the battlefields of the American Civil War.
