A young woman is found strangled, her body abandoned in a second-class carriage.

The brutal “Railway Murder” brings Inspector Decimus Webb to the newly formed Metropolitan Line on a bleak winter’s night. His investigation leads him through the slums of Victorian London to the Holborn Refuge, a home for “fallen women,” and to Clara White, a respectable servant. But Clara has her own tragic and shameful history. As her past is revealed, Inspector Webb must decide whether she is merely a victim of circumstances, or a prime suspect. Only then can he unearth a dark secret, hidden in the depths of underground London.

Lee Jackson’s second novel brilliantly recreates the sights, sounds and smells of Victorian London, taking readers on a suspense-filled journey through its criminal underworld.

Compiling authentic nineteenth-century voices from a multitude of sources, including advertisements, diaries, court cases, journalism and guidebooks, Lee Jackson paints a unique picture of life in a vibrant and diverse city in an alphabetical guide that ranges from A for Advertising Vans ("devoted to the promulgation of the merits of Holloway's ointment in curing diseased legs") to Z for Zazel (the world's first human cannonball). With striking contemporary illustrations throughout, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the remarkable history of London and the enthralling lives of the Victorians.</DIV></DIV>]]> 120157 3.45 74 15 2006 1606545 0099469235 9780099469230 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185785064m/1606545.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185785064s/1606545.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1606545.The_Welfare_of_the_Dead 3.43 7
“Her arms were bare and milk-white, her hands dainty and graceful; her smileas sweet as any I have ever seen. An awful shame . . .”

In the disreputable dance-halls and ‘houses of accommodation’ of 1870s London, a boastful killer selects his prey. His crimes seem like random acts of malevolence, but Inspector Decimus Webb, promoted to the Detective Branch at Scotland Yard, is not convinced.

Webb begins to suspect a connection between the terrible murders, a mysterious theft at the Abney Park Cemetery, and a long-forgotten suicide. His investigations lead him, in turn, to the Holborn General Mourning Warehouse, devoted to the sale of ‘Mourning for Families, In Correct Taste,’ and its proprietor, one Jasper Woodrow, a seemingly respectable business man.

As Webb delves into Woodrow’s life, he uncovers layer upon layer of deceit. But can he unearth Jasper Woodrow’s darkest secret, in time to prevent another tragedy?

The Welfare of the Dead is a suspense-filled gothic mystery with the Victorian celebration of death at its morbid heart.

When the mysterious Sarah Tanner opens her Dining and Coffee Rooms on the corner of Leather Lane and Liquorpond Street, her arrival amongst the poor market traders creates a stir. Few doubt that she has a past, but no one can possibly predict how it will return to haunt her. When an old friend is brutally murdered by the unlikeliest of assailants, Sarah Tanner is the only witness. Unable to turn to the police, she reluctantly finds herself drawn back into the dark underworld of the Victorian metropolis.

Assisted by unlikely friends, dogged by the criminal machinations of the greatest gamester, felon, villain, swindler, and scoundrel in London, she must unravel a web of treachery and deceit that takes her from the gaming hells of Regent Street to the suburban heights of Upper Holloway, from the slums of St. Giles to the fast-flowing waters of the Thames. Relying on her wits and trading on her past, Sarah Tanner risks gambling her own life upon a desperate quest for justice and vengeance.]]> 120157 3.45 74 15 2007 1606546 0099439999 9780099439998 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185785070m/1606546.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185785070s/1606546.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1606546.London_Dust 2.86 7 120157 3.45 74 15 2003 645047 0434012491 9780434012497 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176689063m/645047.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176689063s/645047.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/645047.The_Last_Pleasure_Garden_Desire_Death_Corruption_The_Dark_Heart_of_Victorian_London_ 3.50 4 London Dust and The Welfare of the Dead: another Inspector Decimus Webb crime mystery, in which readers are guided through the dark alleys and gaslit parlours of nineteenth century London.]]> 120157 3.45 74 15 2006 3114578 0434015539 9780434015535 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3114578.The_Mesmerist_s_Apprentice 3.33 3 A Most Dangerous Woman.
