Cain His Brother (William Monk Mystery, Book 6)

Genvieve Stonefield's husband Angus is missing when she seeks William Monk's help to find him.

Although worried about Hester Latterly's health as she nurses victims of a typhoid outbreak in Limehouse, and threatened by a personal scandal, Monk is determined to bring one of the most bizarre cases he has ever encountered to its conclusion.
