When the Metropolitan Police fail to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised racism is claimed by the community's activists and tabloids alike. Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, and his Scotland Yard task force is soon handling more killings and a looming tragedy. Elizabeth George brings to the familiar subject of the serial killer a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict its outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties.

Families can be monstrous, and their secrets dangerous, as detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers discover while assisting the Hampstead police with the vehicular murder of a middle-aged divorcée. They find a connection to one of their superiors and delve into the life of Eugenie Davies, whose murder seems tied to her children: Gideon, a famous violinist struggling to play, and the long-deceased Sonia, whose drowning was shrouded in secrecy to protect Gideon's reputation. The nanny, Katja Wolff, recently released from prison, holds the key to the truth but has remained silent about that fateful night. As Lynley, Havers, and colleague Winston Nkata investigate, another hit-and-run occurs, broadening their list of suspects, including Wolff, Eugenie's suitor, her brother, and Gideon's mentor. Richard Davies, Eugenie's ex-husband, is also under scrutiny. Gideon's quest to uncover his family's past, aimed at salvaging his career, propels the narrative. The intertwining of his story with the investigation reveals the disturbing consequences of hidden truths. While the complex plot may present some flaws and slow pacing, Elizabeth George skillfully weaves the theme of family secrets, ensuring that fans of the series will find this installment compelling.

Londra, 1885. Il dottor Jekyll è riuscito nel suo esperimento e ha dato vita a Hyde, essere demoniaco e malvagio, puro distillato del male. Ma la storia non è come ce l'ha raccontata Stevenson. Perché Hyde non è morto nel laboratorio di Jekyll: è sopravvissuto per architettare un piano diabolico. Di fronte a una tale minaccia, la polizia di Scotland Yard, con l'aiuto di uno zelante medico di nome Conan Doyle, si mette sulle sue tracce.
