Synopsis

In this paranormal mystery by the author of Echo Murder, Yannia Wilde investigates a deathly presence in Old London… On the night of Samhain, the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, and ancient magic runs wild in Old London. When Lady Bergamon is attacked in her Ivy Street garden, Yannia Wilde is asked to investigate. Who has enough power to harm Lady Bergamon in her own domain? While Yannia searches for the answer, nature herself appears to be killing beings in Old London. Yannia and her sidekick Karrion join forces with New Scotland Yard to solve the baffling deaths. But wherever they turn, all the clues point back towards Ivy Street. With her talents put to the test and the line between friends and enemies blurring, Yannia must decide who to trust and just how much she’s willing to sacrifice… Longlisted for the Barbellion Prize.
