{"product_id":"shadow-at-the-morgue-a-spencer-reid-mystery","title":"Shadow at the Morgue: A Spencer \u0026 Reid Mystery","description":"An acquaintance with death\n\nHaunted by her family’s unsolved murder sixteen years ago, Leonora Spencer is familiar with death. As an assistant in her elderly uncle’s London morgue, she uses her photographic memory to catalogue details for his coroner reports. She also isn’t opposed to helping during postmortems, when his skilled hands begin to shake. After a thief breaks into the morgue and steals a locket from a corpse, Leo is determined to understand why, even if it means going against Detective Inspector Jasper Reid’s express orders to keep her nose out of it.\n\nA closely guarded past\n\nBorn and bred in the East End slums, Jasper Reid’s recent promotion to the detective’s branch at Scotland Yard is a long step up from his murky past…a past he can’t afford to reveal to anyone. The last thing he needs is a muddled case connecting to the criminals he once associated with—and to the well-known eccentric Leo Spencer. Her stubborn resolve to undermine Jasper’s investigation tests his patience and the complicated history they share.\n\nA murderer closing in\n\nWhen the missing locket and a handful of suspicious deaths point to a mysterious buried object, Jasper grudgingly accepts Leo’s help to locate it. But someone is watching, and the more they uncover about a deadly blackmail plot, the closer Leo and Jasper get to becoming the killer’s next targets.\n\nShadow at the Morgue is the first book in Cara Devlin’s new Spencer \u0026amp; Reid historical mystery series set in Victorian London. Perfect for fans of PBS Masterpiece’s Miss Scarlet \u0026amp; the Duke, and readers of Irina Shapiro, Andrea Penrose, and C.S. Harris.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DTK5MGR6\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0DTK5MGR6.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Devlin, Cara\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
