There is a murderer in Primrose Hill, more likely a serial killer. The townspeople are horrified and the police have no idea where to go farther than what is under their noses. So why not call the infamous, legendary freelance detective Corvin Taylor? But when it doesn't seem like Corvin is getting any farther either, and more murders are coming out of the dark, he has no choice but to call Alastor Evans, it's his last straw.

Can they solve the serial killer of Primrose Hill, or will the murderer move on to a different town, and slash some more all over London where no one is safe from his untimely grasp?All Rights Reserved
