Publication: Allison & Busby, 2008, London
First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. The year is 1860, and Inspector Faro has been transported back to one of the darkest moments of his career. His investigation leads him to Kent and onto the trail of his nemesis Macheath. While in Kent, Faro bumps into an old school friend who is working in a Bohemian community. The rural tranquility is disrupted by a burglary at a nearby mansion. The young maid who discovered the break-in has disappeared. Faro can think of only one person who would commit such a crime, but he must struggle against the indifference of the rural police force to find both Macheath and his potential victim before it's too late.
