Life was finally looking good for Harm Queen when New Year's Day 1901 dawned over Minneapolis. His old crony "Doc" Ames had just been elected mayor. Queen's promotion to chief of detectives — and a chance to line his pockets — was in the bag. Then, a gruesome crime at a Hell's Half Acre brothel brings Queen's ambitions to a screeching halt.

The mayor's brother and Queen's new boss, Colonel Fred Ames, seems hell-bent on thwarting his investigation. To make matters even more difficult, Queen's courtship of Karoline, an upright young Norwegian woman, is imperiled by the appearance of a seductive prostitute with her own game to play.

As Queen digs deeper among the gangsters, gaslights and political machinations of turn-of-the-century Minneapolis, he finds himself on the trail of a sinister hobo with apocalyptic ambitions.

Seventeen years after her death, the skeletal remains of an eleven-year-old girl are discovered buried deep in the caves of Derbyshire's Peak District. Close to the body lies a crudely-carved clay model of a sinister jackal-headed creature. What is the connection?

As DS Tom Ward takes charge of the police investigation, the secrets surrounding a group of now grown-up children and their sinister 'Egyptian game' are gradually revealed. Secrets which have lain buried for almost twenty years. Secrets which will now emerge with unexpected and devastating consequences.

When the body of a seemingly innocent and beautiful young widow is discovered, it seems the killer is still at large. And the game is by no means over. Tom Ward slowly peels away layers of deception that span two decades — but finds himself dangerously mixed up in a deadly plot.
