THE INVESTIGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED BY SCOTLAND YARD.IF YOU BELIEVE THE LEGEND, WITHOUT SIX RAVENS IN THE TOWER, THE CROWN WILL FALL... London, 1883. In a thick fog near the walls of the Tower, the raven keeper Aberforth Pritchard is brutally murdered — a man who devoted his life to birds, on which, according to legend, the fate of the British crown depends. His little daughter, Maeve, becomes a witness to the murder, as if she had disappeared into London at night.Scotland Yard Inspector Henry Field takes over the investigation, seeking to restore his reputation after a recent failure. But the deeper he delves into the circumstances of the raven caretaker's death, the clearer it becomes: Pritchard had something to tell before he died.…A few hours later, Maeve appears on the doorstep of the young widow Amelia Greystone, a woman with an unusual passion for toxicology, who lost her husband and daughter. Amelia and Henry will have to join forces to solve the crime and save the child. However, there is one "but": Maeve is deaf and dumb and cannot tell who killed her father.…An atmospheric Victorian detective with a Gothic mood, dark secrets of the Tower, charismatic characters and a tense investigation, where not only the life of a little girl, but also the safety of the whole of England is at stake."A thorough investigation and excellent storytelling." — Irina Shapiro, author of the Amazon bestseller "A good combination of mystery and Suspense in a British historical setting." — Goodreads
