From the back cover:

In a fog-shrouded Wigan in 1894 a touring theatre company from London, the Morgan-Drew players, presents the celebrated Victorian melodrama, "The Silver King".....At the same time, the Richard Throstle Magic Lantern Company offers a ghoulish extravaganza, "Phantasmagoria"

This feast of entertainment for a town half-starved by the recent miners' strike is soon shattered by a gruesome murder. Detective Sergeant Samuel Slevin of the Wigan Borough Police discovers dark and dangerous passions seething beneath the surface. He enters a world where nothing is what it seems, and everyone has something to hide.

When another murder takes place in full view of a terrified audience, can Slevin makes sense of seemingly unrelated clues to act swiftly before the killer can strike again? Or is Fate lurking in the wings, ready to make another deadly entrance?
