<b><b>The third novel in the internationally bestselling White City Trilogy sees Kraken on the hunt for a murderer whose macabre crimes are lifted straight from history.</b></b><br /><br />Kraken is enjoying life as a family man, content to spend his days with Alba and their young daughter Deba. But there&apos;s no rest for the weary, especially when you&apos;re the most famous investigator in Vitoria. Kraken and Esti are charged with investigating the mysterious disappearance of two sisters and finding it hard to make any headway when a wealthy businessman&apos;s murder appears to shine a light on the case. The man was poisoned with a medieval aphrodisiac--a crime that has eerie similarities to one detailed in the novel everyone in Vitoria is buzzing about. When the two sisters are discovered trapped behind a wall--bricked up alive--the parallels to the novel are undeniable. With the author&apos;s identity a closely held secret, will Kraken be able to track down the killer before they can strike again? Or will Vitoria&apos;s sordid underworld finally break Kraken, and his family, apart.<br /> <br /><b>A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL</b>
