The Tin Face Parade

October 1907, East London. A mask maker works painstakingly to rebuild injured faces out of painted copper alloy, until he is brutally murdered at his workbench. The police suspect a burglary gone wrong, but when a much more high-profile killing shocks the city just weeks later, one man is convinced the two crimes are connected. Somehow it falls to Harry Catcliffe, a dissolute young industrialist with a gift for being in the wrong place, to try and discover the truth.

Reluctantly paired with an unhinged ex-marine on a quest for revenge, Harry’s investigation takes him from the great country houses of Surrey to the carbolic-scented back alleys of Limehouse, as he realises that the most difficult masks to see through are the ones made of flesh and blood.
