As Harper investigates, a web of intimidation and corruption is linked to a mysterious company in Leeds, which could be bringing misery and violence to the people of the city. But who is behind the company? "Thoughtful characterizations and a plausible, heartrending plot add up to a winner. Nickson stands in the front rank of historical mystery authors" - Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Nickson''s latest and perhaps finest is a breathless race for the truth from start to finish" - Kirkus Reviews Starred Review *When an old friend asks Superintendent Tom Harper for help, he finds himself drawn into a deadly web of intimidation, corruption and misery on the streets of Leeds.* Leeds, England. July, 1899. The hot summer has been fairly quiet for Detective Superintendent Tom Harper and his squad, until a daring burglary occurs at an expensive Leeds address. Then his friend and former colleague, Inspector Billy Reed, asks for his help. Billy''s brother, Charlie, a shopkeeper, has committed suicide. Going through Charlie''s papers, Billy discovers crippling rent rises demanded by his new landlord. Could these have driven him to his death? As Harper investigates, he uncovers a web of intimidation and corruption that leads back to the mysterious North Leeds Company. Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes and bringing a new kind of misery and violence to the people of Leeds? Harper is determined to unmask the culprits, but how much blood will be shed as he tries?
