London 1842
A freak show performer and master detective. A circus acrobat and lock breaker. Wild Boy and Clarissa; together they are the city’s last hope.
A poisoner stalks London, leaving victims mad with terror. Is there a cure for the Black Terror?
Wild Boy and Clarissa’s hunt will lead them from the city’s vilest slums to its grandest palace, and to a darkness at the heart of its very highest society.
