Spitalfields, 1840. Catherine is an orphan, living in her uncle's rambling house in London's East End. Out in the streets, a murderer dubbed The Man of Crows is killing young women. As the city panics, Catherine grows obsessed by the dead girls, thinking they hold the key to uncovering the killer - but in fact, she's already far closer than she realizes . . .
