About this listen

When an Italian assassin's body is found floating in a barrel in Victorian London's East End, enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant Thomas Llewelyn are called in to investigate. Soon corpses begin to appear all over London, each accompanied by a Mafia Black Hand note. As Barker and Llewelyn dig deeper, they become entangled in the vendettas of rival Italian syndicates - and it is no longer clear who is a friend or foe.

Still in love with this series 

I've got a met some series can get a bit boring after the third or fourth book
This series is completely different, intricacy of the stories are just as engrossing from book to book I would suggest this series to anyone he's looking for a little bit of mystery and excitement
