Bryan Talbot The Casebook of Stamford Hawksmoor Hardback

With tophat and cane in hand, Scotland Yards DI Stamford Hawksmoor shadows the murky backstreets of London on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer. In the dying days of the French occupation of Britain, through gaslit, cobbled streets and squalid alleyways, stalks the great eagle Detective Stamford Hawksmoor in search of the homicidal manic whose killing spree claims dozens of seemingly unconnected victims, from random murders to targeted political assassinations. The deeper he delves, the more he puts himself in mortal danger, pitting himself against unknown antagonists whilst under the scrutiny of the feared antiterrorist squad, and the more he is forced to resort to working outside the law. A prequel to Talbots pioneering Grandville series, The Casebook of Stamford Hawksmoor is also an intriguing, labyrinthine standalone mystery graphic novel set in a world of hansom cabs and peasouper fogs, where explosive violence can erupt at any second and does! | Bryan Talbot The Casebook of Stamford Hawksmoor Hardback
