Sinopsis

On December 10, 1880, Coroner Sévère makes a gruesome discovery: nine newborns, buried in flowerpots, and hidden in plain sight in Whitechapel. A mortician receives the bodies and vanishes. Clues for the two seemingly unconnected cases are scarce. When police and coroner learn that the missing mortician might have spent his last moments at the bosom of the infamous prostitute Miss Mary, a series of events is nudged into motion. Lies are unearthed, rumours spread. Yet, the killer remains a faceless phantom. His secret seems buried forever. Until the night Sévère requests Miss Mary’s services…This 2018 edition features three new chapters plus several new scenes, and revisions to scenes that were too graphic for some readers.

Newspaper reports confirm that a terrible fire from the recent past has not yet been fully resolved. Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be particularly concerned about this, if more than one hundred and fifty people hadn't perished at the time. When the New York Police would rather know nothing more about the matter, Holmes becomes alert, and before he knows it, both are in the middle of their next criminal case.
