Description
SOME MURDERS CAN'T BE SOLVED IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.
'A five-star start to a dazzling new series . . . Smart, original and utterly masterful' Janice Hallett
'A pleasure from finish to start' Anthony Horowitz
'Fresh and exciting with both humour and thrills, Griffiths' first book in her new series knocks it out of the park' Shari Lapena
Ali Dawson and her cold case team investigate crimes so old, they're frozen - or so their inside joke goes. Most people don't know that they travel back in time to complete their research.
The latest assignment sees Ali venture back farther than they have dared before: to 1850s London in order to clear the name of Cain Templeton, the eccentric great-grandfather of MP Isaac Templeton. Rumour has it that Cain was part of a sinister group called The Collectors; to become a member, you had to kill a woman...
Fearing for her safety in the middle of a freezing Victorian winter, Ali finds herself stuck in time, unable to make her way back to her life, her beloved colleagues, and her son, Finn, who suddenly finds himself in legal trouble in the present day.
Could the two cases be connected?
Set your clocks to February 2025 and get ready for an original, transportive and characterful new crime novel from no. 1 bestselling author Elly Griffiths. Perfect for those missing the Dr Ruth Galloway series and for any crime and historical fiction fans.

Featured Reviews
This is mind-bendingly good, even for such a seasoned author as Griffiths. The idea is fresh and exciting and she executes it in such a way that the core plot point almost sneaks up on you. The cast of characters is fascinating and credible, from the investigating team to the political advisors and even the cats. The pacing was perfect, the dialogue carefully executed to align with the locations and plot and the back stories just full enough to add value without detracting from the very exciting main story line. I can’t wait for more!
