Description

The city is a dangerous place for a monster who has found his conscience.

London, 1996. For over a century, the man known only as Lord has worked to bury his terrifying past beneath a pinstriped suit and a bowler hat. Once the legendary Spring-heeled Jack, he now serves as a ‘harvester’ for a billionaire werecat, scouring the city’s fringes for unique mythological strays.

But Lord’s carefully constructed routine of morning tea and quiet anonymity is shattered when a violent tragedy strikes his favourite Sloane Square haunt. When he finds himself protecting a young woman caught in the crossfire, he realises he is no longer the only hunter on the prowl.

A nightmare from the far north has entered the City, leaving a trail of gore that defies understanding. To save a human witness and solve a murder, the monster in the pinstriped suit must decide if he is willing to unleash the legend he has spent a century trying to forget.
