Description
The year is 1665. Black Death ravages London. A killer stalks the streets in a plague doctor’s hood and mask....
When a girl is gruesomely murdered, thief taker Charlie Tuesday reluctantly agrees to take on the case. But the horrific remains tell him this is no isolated death. The killer’s mad appetites are part of a master plan that could destroy London – and reveal the dark secrets of Charlie’s own past.
Now the thief taker must find this murderous mastermind before the plague obliterates the evidence street by street. This terrifying pursuit will take Charlie deep into the black underbelly of old London, where alchemy, witchcraft and blood-spells collide.
In a city drowned in darkness, death could be the most powerful magic of all.

Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut
This book follows the pattern of Dan Brown's Robert Landon novels: Investigator follows trail of misleading clues and uncovers a conspiracy. While an exciting read, I was bothered by too many cliches: The protagonist just happens to have a mysterious connection to the villain. The client and investigator are of very different social classes, yet form an emotional bond, while distrusting each other throughout the novel. Important clues are known to many characters, but never revealed to the investigator, or to the reader.
Everyone knows and trusts everyone else, except for the investigator and the people trying to kill him.
There is a deus-ex-machina out of left field climax. Justice, in the end, is not served.
Though the novel is set in Restoration England, many of the thoughts, actions, and opinions of the characters seem decidedly out-of-period.
The plague tropes seemed like the Zombie Apocalypse. I don't know if that's at all realistic.
There are far too many coincidences.
