Londres, 1935. Geats travaille pour la police des Moeurs. Misanthrope et hargneux, il dirige la racaille de Soho selon un code moral élastique. Ses ruelles étroites sont peuplées de jazzmen, de bookmakers, de mafieux et de michetons. Aussi, lorsque le corps d'une prostitué est retrouvé au-dessus d'un club, les détectives de la criminelle se contentent de classer l'affaire comme un suicide. Geats, quant à lui, flaire déjà la piste d'un tueur pervers et insaisissable que l'on surnommera le Brigadier.

Who had taken her. How to escape. Detective Abigail Boone has been missing for four days when she is finally found, confused and broken. Suffering retrograde amnesia, she is a stranger to her despairing husband and bewildered son. Hopelessly lost in her own life, with no leads on her abduction, Boone's only instinct is to revisit the case she was investigating when she vanished: the baffling disappearance of a young woman, Sarah Still. Defying her family and the police, Boone obsessively follows a deadly trail to the darkest edges of human cruelty. But even if she finds Sarah, will Boone ever be the same again? 'An amazing debut novel ' Anne Bonny Book Reviews 'I highly recommend to anyone but especially to those who like their crime fiction to have genuine depth...loved it.' LizLovesBooks
