Description
Jack Merrit longs for a case more challenging than burglaries and missing jewels, and when someone finds a skeleton inside a pipe organ, his wish comes true. At first, the strange discovery in the church of St Clement Danes seems like a prank, but when Jacks next call is to a crime within earshot of the bells of St Martins, an uneasy pattern emerges.
Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements
You owe me five farthings, say the bells of St Martins
And then, the murders start.
If the first is chance, a second becomes a coincidence, but a third? Thats a pattern, and these are no ordinary murders. They involve diabolical contraptions that kill seemingly random victims. Asked by both London police forces to investigate without being told why, Jack and his men embark on an investigation knowing where the killer will strike next, but not when.
When the killer invites Jack to join his game, a contest of intellect begins, and knowing failure will lead to disgrace, he pits himself against his most cunning adversary so far.
This is the tenth book in the Delamere Files series. The books should be read in order.
