1889. Farringdon Chase is a Lord of the Realm and the greatest amateur detective of his time, loved and admired all over the world. However, following a tragic event involving his arch nemesis, Sylvanus Sharp, he dramatically retires from public life.

But it is not long before London becomes gripped with fear by the terrible crimes of a new horror, The Gaslit Ghoul!

With the population of the capital looking for a saviour, Chase is tempted out of retirement as the crimes and clues become ever more personal, leading to a conclusion which will rock his very world to its foundations.

Leaving him asking himself the question…WHO IS FARRINGDON CHASE?

A tale of mystery and surprises, a tale of two sides of Victorian London, from the splendour of Piccadilly and Kensington to the poverty of the East End. A city filled with characters, some comical, some terrifying, some strange. Enter the world of Farringdon Chase and be amazed!
