Publisher Description
The year is 1895.
An ancient manuscript claiming to hold the secrets of God's creation;
A cunning old woman trying to make sense of it;
A deluded psychopath intent on stealing it away from her.
Private detective John Billings and his assistant Bartholomew Trotter have been tasked with finding a mysterious ancient manuscript known as the "Codex of Solomon" – a book of magical spells much desired by secretive esoteric societies.
They're not the only ones hunting for this artifact. A deluded young psychopath has already committed murder to find it. And a stubborn old woman thinks that this manuscript will give her the respect she so craves.
This is the latest in a series of Victorian mysteries exploring the dark side of the late Victorian era. It follows on from the events described in "A Glimpse of Heaven," but can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
