Werewolves are disappearing from the gaslit streets of London. Are they being murdered? Kidnapped? Few beyond the ’wolves’ own families notice they’re missing, and fewer still care. With the aid of a clandestine toff werewolf and a lady alchemist with attitude, Inspector Royston Jones is determined to protect all those who dwell in his city. But his superiors are indifferent, the werewolf community suspicious, and he has too few leads and too many suspects—including his estranged uncle. Only one thing is certain—unless he can solve the mystery, more ’wolves will be taken every time the full moon rises. Another gripping novel by the award-winning author of A Hunt by Moonlight!

Inspector Jones' most dangerous case starts with a single death. It’s winter in Victorian London, and Inspector Royston Jones is determined to solve the mysterious murder of a young Irish woman new to the city. Suspects abound, from the woman’s wealthy husband to Fenians to werewolf rights activists. Is the itinerant stage magician newly arrived to Royston’s uncle’s household somehow involved? Is the man from the Home Office here only to serve his own agenda? When a bomb goes off outside Scotland Yard, the stakes grow higher. Royston is running out of time, and he has few he can trust outside of a clandestine werewolf and a lady alchemist with attitude. If he wants to save his hard-won reputation, his career, and the city he loves, he'll need to find the murderer before suspicion, fear, and rage blow London apart.
