The house on Vesper Sands [large print] / Paraic O'Donnell.

O'Donnell, Paraic, (author.).

Summary:

"London, 1893: high up in a house on a dark, snowy night, a lone seamstress stands by a window. So begins the swirling Victorian-inspired mystery, the story of a city cloaked in shadow, but burning with questions: why does the seamstress jump from the window? Why is a cryptic message stitched into her skin? And how is she connected to a rash of missing girls, all of whom seem to have disappeared under similar circumstances? On the case is Inspector Cutter, a detective as sharp and committed to his work as he is wryly humorous. As Inspector Cutter peels back the mystery layer by layer, it leads to the secrets that lie hidden at the house on Vesper Sands."-- Back cover.
