Scotland Yardâ€™s Murder Squad returns.,The British Midlands. Itâ€™s called the â€œBlack Countryâ€ for a reason. Bad things happen there.,When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining villageâ€”and a human eyeball is discovered in a birdâ€™s nestâ€”the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yardâ€™s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what theyâ€™re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it.,Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave. . . .
