When an Italian assassin's body is found floating in a barrel in Victorian London's East End, enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant Thomas Llewelyn are called in to investigate.

As Barker and Llewelyn dig deeper, they become entangled in the vendettas of rival Italian syndicates - and it is no longer clear who is a friend or foe.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In an underground meeting readers won't soon forget, the pugnacious Barker foments a gang war guaranteed to leave fans with clenched fists." ( Booklist)

super sleuthing story

Sherlock Holmes has competition. Superb performance with a solid storyline. great entertainment for a car trip.

Great

Another good one and this time in the middle of a war between the Italians and the Sicilians You never know what will happen!

The best yet

Thomas & Ferguson hit the mark again, this time adding a little bit more - but not focused on - personal info about Barker & Llewellen. The way this story ended could be the end of the series but leaves it open and obvious about how Barker regards his trainee.

The black hand

Another excellent read, thanks much. Keep them coming Will Thomas especially with stories like these.

Love the history of this one especially being Italian

I liked how the relationship between Barker and Llewelyn is growing. I’m really starting to bond with the characters in the series. Love Anthony Fergusons narration. I could listen to him read the phone book.

Amazing!

Six out of five!! Will Thomas is an amazing author and Barker and Lewellyn are the best detective duo since Holmes and Watson!

Awesome

I love this author! The stories are fantastic, without having to suspend belief. Great series, keep them coming!

Great Series

I have read/heard many series.this one is particularly excellent. Both presentation and storyline are superb.

The plots get better and better!

The narration is brilliant. The characters are real enough to see them. Best book, yet

Great story!

I've enjoyed the series 1-5. The narrator is great and does excellent accents from London, other parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. His French accents are also good. His Italian accents are not as polished - they sound a little like bad vampires rather than Italians. Don't let that disuade you from this installment. Start with the first and run through them all.
