An astonishing real-life murder mystery set in Victorian Dublin. This meticulously researched true- crime tale is perfect for fans ofThe Fiveby Hallie Rubenhold.

Dublin, November 1856: George Little, the chief cashier of the Broadstone railway terminus, is found dead, lying in a pool of blood beneath his desk.

Augustus Guy, Ireland's most experienced detective, teams up with Dublin's leading lawyer to investigate the murder.
