The Highgate Cemetery Murder: A completely gripping and addictive historical mystery (A Tate and Bell Mystery Book 1)

A man frantically writes cryptic notes in his notebook: "Woman dead in Highgate. Man in caped coat. Milky way and red streaks. I'm being followed." Hours later, he is found dead in the city mortuary, lying beside the woman he could not save. His sister, Gemma Tate, an unconventional nurse, seeks out troubled police inspector Sebastian Bell to help uncover the truth. Sebastian is already under pressure to solve the murder of an aristocratic heiress, but the mysterious sentences from her brother's notebook may provide a crucial lead—if only they could decipher what "milky way" means. As Gemma and Sebastian follow the trail of clues from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobility into the dangerous slums of London, their partnership is tested. Set in Victorian London, this is the first book in the Tate and Bell Mystery series.
