Astraia Holmes, sister of Sherlock, is baffled by a series of bizarre and brutal murders committed by a dragon-like assailant. Desperately wishing to impress her brother and solve the crimes, she teams up with a mysterious and brilliant young woman, Madeleine Barquist, who is the daughter of Jack the Ripper, a fact she is eager to hide. Sherlock suspects an ancient malevolence at work and he fears for Astraia’s safety. The two women are drawn into a dark conspiracy involving a Chinese Dragon Cult known as the Ya Zi and have to face an ancient evil in this gripping page-turrner.
