The Queen of Hearts Murders

London, 1893. The city is gripped by fear as a string of wealthy men are found murdered under eerily identical circumstances-each with a lipstick kiss on their cheek, but no trace of DNA left behind.

Private investigator John Hawthorne is no stranger to the darkness that lurks beneath London's high society. But as he follows the clues, the case takes a chilling turn, leading him to Evelyn Laurent, a widowed socialite with ties to the victims. When a playing card-the Queen of Hearts-is found at the latest crime scene, John realizes this is no ordinary killer.

His investigation soon entangles him with Lady Victoria Pembroke, a woman of power and influence, whose secrets run deeper than anyone suspects. When an attempt is made on John's life, he knows he's getting too close. With every step forward, the web of deception tightens, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.

But when Lady Pembroke is finally caught, she leaves him with a cryptic warning:

"Did you really think I acted alone?"

And as John holds the final clue in his hands-a fresh Queen of Hearts card-a scream from the street below shatters the night.

The case isn't over. It's just beginning.

Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes and historical detective mysteries, The Queen of Hearts Murders is a gripping tale of murder, intrigue, and a conspiracy that threatens to shake London to its core.
