In Victorian England a witch and a detective are on the hunt for a serial killer in an enthralling novel of magic and murder by the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Vine Witch。

After a nearly fatal blow to the skull， traumatized private detective Ian Cameron is found dazed and confused on a muddy riverbank in Victorian London。 Among his effects: a bloodstained business card bearing the name of a master wizard and a curious pocket watch that doesn’t seem to tell time。 To retrieve his lost memories， Ian demands answers from Edwina and Mary Blackwood， sister witches with a murky past。 But as their secret is slowly unveiled， a dangerous mystery emerges on the darkened streets of London。

To help piece together Ian’s lost time， he and Edwina embark on a journey that will take them from the river foreshore to an East End music hall， and on to a safe house for witches in need of sanctuary from angry mortals。 The clues they find suggest a link between a series of gruesome murders， a missing person’s case， and a dreadful suspicion that threatens to tear apart the bonds of sisterhood。 As the investigation deepens， could Ian and Edwina be the next to die？
