It has been more than a year since Inspector Arthur Eldermann was sent to find the vanished children of Evynsford. It could almost be believed whatever darkness had come to that secluded hamlet had been driven off. Yet the mists endure, and as the pale summer of 1899 spreads up the British Isle, another ill wind blows across Evynsford from the Irish Sea.

Now it is a race against time between the Constable and the Assassin, one determined to claim more targets in a bid for his ultimate goal and the other bound to move all heaven and Earth to stop the killing…
