When a teenage boy disappears from London’s Cheap Street Mission, Jack finds himself in charge of the Delamere detective agency—and on a case that plunges him into London’s darkest corners. Desperate to find his missing brother, Simeon turns to Jack, whose only lead is a sinister cutthroat razor.
As Jack and his partner, Will, follow clues from the eerie illusions of Piccadilly’s Egyptian Hall to an opium den in Whitechapel, the case grows increasingly complex and dangerous. Beneath the city’s surface, secrets and hidden identities threaten to unravel their search.
But time is slipping away, and if they don’t find the boy soon, the razor will play a bloody role in a public death. Will Jack and Will reach him before it’s too late?
