Four Heads Missing (vol. II)
Four bodies. Four dark secrets. One hunter.
London, 1888: The Metropolitan Police is recruiting more officers because of the dire situation in the ghettos. A new headquarters is being built. The impregnable underground vault is ready for use. But the building work is brought to a halt when a builder makes a gruesome discovery: He finds a strange package in the newly built strongroom. Wrapped up inside is a hideously mutilated woman’s torso, but there’s no sign of her head. Is someone making a mockery of the police? The well-connected lady’s companion Irene Adams and the tight-lipped bodyguard William Berger investigate the case their own way and come up against a wall of silence. Soon afterwards another body is dredged out of the Thames, its head also missing. The hunt for a faceless phantom begins.
