London, 1888.

Whitechapel is full of the noise of August Bank Holiday celebrations. Everyone is in high spirits until a woman – Martha Turner – is discovered brutally murdered.

Her friend, Esther, a lowly seamstress turned female sleuth, is determined to find the killer.

A young police officer, Jack Enright, takes the lead on the case, and he and Esther soon embark on a professional – and personal – relationship.

When another murder is committed and whispers of a slasher calling himself Jack the Ripper start flowing through the London streets, the search becomes even more desperate.

London, 1891.

The city is still reeling from the brutal Ripper killings and now women are once more being sexually harassed.

With no valuables stolen and no murders committed the police fail to take the women seriously.

But when Esther Jacobs finds herself personally acquainted with one of the victims, she starts to believe something more sinister could be going on.

London, 1896.

Detective Sergeant Jack Enright, recently transferred to the rural backwaters of Essex, is disgusted to find reports of the discovery of three infant corpses in as many months.

It soon becomes clear that his uncle, Percy, working in London’s Scotland Yard has also uncovered cases of babies being murdered.

These clearly are not one-off acts of desperation by impoverished mothers, but a widespread plot to take young lives.

London, 1898.

Jack Enright has barely settled, somewhat uncomfortably, into his new role as Inspector of the Tilbury Docks Police when he is obliged to investigate the apparent loss of cargoes on one particular incoming vessel.

At the same time, his uncle Percy is ordered by Special Branch to find out what’s happened to two schoolboys missing from their boarding school whose fathers are of strategic importance to Britain’s interests in South Africa.

After involving a protesting Esther one final time in what becomes a joint investigation, Jack and Percy find themselves at the mercy of forces they have provoked. This case could dramatically affect their futures as police officers…

17 Cavendish Square. The home of the Pelican Club – a notorious upmarket brothel. Now the scene of a murder.

DCI Mike Saxby – straight-shooting and by-the-book – is called in to investigate the death of the madame, Linda Clifford.

The case throws up more questions than answers, as well as a slew of suspects.

Saxby and his team also uncover secrets which involve the highest echelons of the police – and a centuries-old mystery of a murdered witch.

Juggling issues, which concern both his family and his mis-matched personnel, Saxby doggedly continues his investigation.

Jeremy Giles has been brutally murdered, and the indications are that he was silenced because of something he had recently discovered while investigating a series of deaths that appear to have had a common link.

DCI Mike Saxby - a seasoned investigator looking forward to retirement - is put in charge of a team that needs urgent answers, but two factors seem destined to hinder their enquiries.

They have a bewildering choice of possible leads, one of which may have its origins half a millennium in the past.

Nottingham, 1571.

Coroner Sir Henry Greville is conducting an inquest, following the discovery of the body of a girl, and he wants a quick and conclusive verdict. The victim is believed to have been promiscuous domestic servant Amy Brindley. The scant evidence implicates her former employer.

Constable Thomas Lincraft is not convinced, and begins his own search for the truth, even though he risks being dismissed from his office by doing so.

"An entertaining and lively mystery, which delves into the murky world of crime and the justice system in provincial Elizabethan England." Paul Walker, author of State of Treason

Nottingham, 1571

Senior Constable Tom Lincraft has been summoned to view the body of local miller Edward Franklin, found hanging from a beam in his own mill as the result of a seeming suicide. With him is his junior colleague Giles Bradbury, a ladies’ man who is intrigued by Tom’s policy of never accepting the assertions of others until he has investigated them for himself.

Tom has grounds for suspecting that this is no suicide, and when he and Giles make further enquiries regarding the furtive activities of a man recently arrived at a local inn, they are set upon by three men who become their main targets in their investigation.

"A well-researched and well-written series... Lincraft is humane yet tenacious." - Richard Foreman
