The Camden Killer
Jacqueline Beard
Works of: Fiction
A woman dies in Camden town, another in Bloomsbury…
Retired private detectives Lawrence and Violet Harpham are back in the capital for sightseeing and relaxation. But Lawrence becomes increasingly isolated when artist Walter Sickert befriends Violet, acting as a mentor for her new hobby.
Bored and with nothing better to do, Lawrence delves into the recent murder of Emily Dimmock. But Emily was not the only woman to die under mysterious circumstances.
As Lawrence discovers more suspicious deaths, an old enemy returns, threatening the lives of all he holds dear. Meanwhile, the killer is moving in and will stop at nothing to fulfil his destiny. Can Lawrence unmask him before others die?
This intricately plotted Edwardian murder mystery is based on a true crime.
