Coming Soon: Tales of Scotland Yard – A Constable’s Last Beat

London, 1868. When a body is found dead in a back alley in London's East End, the investigation takes a harrowing turn: the murdered man is one of Scotland Yard’s own.

In Volume 3 of the Tales of Scotland Yard series, Inspector Lestrade is tasked with finding the killer of a fellow policeman. It is an investigation defined by intrigue and danger, as Lestrade follows leads down side alleys where his own track record of being assaulted is not particularly encouraging. From the icy waters of the Thames to the dark corners of the city, Lestrade must determine if the killer is a complete stranger or someone from within the force.
