Description

"One of the best pairings in Victorian detective fiction."
When a dangerous lunatic decides to bomb the city of Norwich, one innocent person's luck is about to fatally run out...
Norwich 1900
The streets of Norwich are no longer safe.

The city is at the mercy of a mysterious bomber intent on causing harm and misery to its residents. No one knows where the perpetrator will strike next, or what they truly want.

Colonel Bainbridge is running out of time to find who is behind the explosive crimes, each day bringing a fresh assault and his investigation seeming to be bogged down with a confusing array of misleading information.

Who is the mysterious well-dressed lady people keep claiming to see?

What is the connection with a famous mustard company?

And how will he find a villain who leaves no clues behind?

When the bomber finally claims a life, it is plain they have no time left to lose. But when the trail of the criminal leads them to an unexpected quarter of the city, they begin to realise they have been chasing the wrong suspect all along.

Can Bainbridge and Victoria catch the culprit before anyone else dies?
