Blackstone and the Rendezvous with Death (Blackstone Detective)

The body of a young man fished out of the Thames is of little interest to Londoners caught up in the excitement of Queen Victoriaâ‚¬s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Yet to Inspector Sam Blackstone, the case is as puzzling as any he has ever come across.

Why should a corpse dressed the in rags of a commoner have the face of a gentleman?

And if this man does belong to noble stock, why has no one come forward to claim the body?

As his investigation proceeds, Blackstone finds himself entering the world of the aristocracyâ‚¬"in which the presence of an ordinary policeman is far from welcomeâ‚¬"and tramping the dangerous streets of London's Little Russiaâ‚¬"where English law and order are not welcome.

Death seems to stalk him, and as each new clue leads to nothing more than a new murder, Blackstone comes to realize that he is caught up in what may turn out to be the most horrendous crime of the centuryâ‚¬Â¦

Blackstone and the Rendezvous with Death is an expertly plotted Victorian mystery that will keep readers guessing to the last page.
