London is in the grip of an epidemic - across the city, people are dying in freak accidents, each body yielding strips of paper carrying indecipherable heiroglyphics. Aiming to clear his own name... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a good book. It had it all, a great story, good characters, wonderful action and a quick pace. This is just a good old exciting book. The author peppers the book with plot twists that keep the reader on his toes. This author writes in a way that is tight and slick that keep you interested through out. This is a solid murder mystery. Ok, so the detective that is used is straight from central casting, but that book is not bad. The story comes together and you believe it. I would have liked a bit more depth on the locations and characters, but not a bad read
Great book.

This is what I call a proper mistery book. Gripping reading and good timing of each occurrence, psychology of main characters is detailed enough to provide credibility to an overall rather far-fetching theory.
I thought the book was excellent

I read this book in one night because I could not put it down. That was before I saw that the incarnation of evil had the same name as my son.
