About this audiobook
A decades-old murder mystery reignites amidst the flames of the Gordon Riots, threatening to burn London to the ground. A holy fool and his raven are caught in the crossfire of religious fanaticism and political intrigue. It is a dark portrait of mob violence and the secrets that families keep buried until the fire burns them out.
