Editorial Reviews

Review

“Victorian London is vividly brought to life . . . For an atmospheric picture of the period, it’s hard to beat.”
Sunday Telegraph

Praise for Lee Jackson:
“Lee Jackson’s Dickensian style of narrative gives an authentic Victorian voice to Metropolitan Murder. Once again, Mr. Jackson has succeeded in creating the atmosphere of nineteenth-century London, with its respectable veneer hiding a vicious underworld.”
Sunday Telegraph

London Dust . . . is a powerful and evocative novel that brings the past, and its dead, to life again.”
Guardian


From the Trade Paperback edition.
