Leeds, Christmas Eve, 1890. A young man has been found stabbed to death in the city's poverty-stricken Jewish district, his body arranged in the shape of a cross, two bronze pennies covering his eyes. As fear rises in the Jewish community, DI Tom Harper is forced to use unorthodox methods to find the killer.

This is the second book in the Tom Harper series. It has a very good sense of history and place, just my usual complaint, that no map is included! I really think writers would remember that many of their readers are predominantly visual/ kinesthetic, a map would go a long way to help us visualize the environment. This complaint isn't aimed at this book alone, there are many others . The end pages in all Dona Leon books are maps! It was a very good read none the less.
