Mind of a Killer by Simon Beaufort
London, 1882. Alec Lonsdale, a young reporter on the Pall Mall Gazette, is working on a story about a fatal house fire. But the post-mortem on the victim produces shocking results: Patrick Donovan's death was no accident. But why would someone murder a humble shop assistant and steal part of his brain?When a second body is discovered, its throat cut, and then a third, Lonsdale and his spirited female colleague, Hulda Friederichs, begin to uncover evidence of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of Victorian society.Simon Beaufort is a pen name for two former University of Cambridge academics who are now full-time novelists. One is an award-winning historian, and the other, Susanna Gregory, is a successful crime novelist. They are the authors of the critically renowned Sir Geoffrey Mappestone medieval mysteries, as well as The Murder House and The Killer Ship, two modern thrillers.
