An artist of death is stalking Victorian London, recreating earlier masterpieces of murder.
Police suspicion falls on the notorious ‘opium-eater’ Thomas De Quincey, recently returned to the capital, who wrote in detail about the original crimes. Someone is using his essays as inspiration – and he must uncover the truth before the killer completes his work.
In MURDER AS A FINE ART, London becomes a battleground between a literary star and a brilliant murderer – whose lives are linked by secrets long buried, but never forgotten.
