#2 in Publisher’s Weekly Top Mysteries of 2013 / Winner of the Japanese Honkaku Mystery Award 2005 In 1887, in the country village of Blackfield, the astonishing impossible murder of Richard Morstan as he was preparing a magic trick behind a curtain spawned legends of a phantom killer who slaughtered witnesses and vanished under the noses of his pursuers.   The case catches the attention of Sydney Miles, and he attempts to solve a murder that “no one, absolutely no one, could have committed”.  The following year, the Jack the Ripper murders send the citizens of fog-ridden London into paroxysms of fear — how is this new monster able to vanish under the noses of the police during the spree of escalating horror in that autumn of 1888, and could there be any connection with the phantom responsible for the murder of Richard Morstan a year earlier?
