A string of poisoned husbands. A confession that doesn't add up. A culprit who can't be caught.
London, 1884. When three men die of arsenic poisoning in Bermondsey, news reporter Penny Green is on the case. But the investigation is brought to a simple conclusion when the poisoner confesses. Or so everyone thinks.
As the body count rises, the search extends across London to the warren of caves beneath Chislehurst. Penny unearths a tangled web of false identities and vanished suspects. With the help of the charming Inspector James Blakely, she races to connect the dots before more lives are lost.
But few can match the cunning of a serial poisoner. When a police officer falls victim, Penny realises she's not just risking her life - her career hangs in the balance too. Can she unmask the real Bermondsey Poisoner before she loses everything? Or will her pursuit of justice lead her straight into a killer's trap?
A cunning game of cat-and-mouse set against the shadowy backdrop of Victorian London. Penny Green returns in her most perplexing case yet with The Bermondsey Poisoner.
