THE HOLLOW CROWN
London is drowning in fog, and someone is leaving the dead on thrones. Each body is stripped of its face, wearing a porcelain mask with a painted smile and a wire crown. Investigator Edmund Whitmore takes the case with his sister Violet, who harbors a six-year secret. But this isn't simple murder—it’s a message. Someone is exposing secrets London preferred to forget, with a twisted idea of justice and a mask for every lie.

Mara Voss has run the Black Lantern for decades, serving drinks while keeping her vampire nature—and her past—hidden. But when a dead man is carried into her bar bearing a symbol from 1941, Mara’s buried secrets return. A woman she watched die appears at her door, murders begin, and an old mystery resurfaces. To stop the killer, Mara must uncover the truth about the night she died—before she becomes the final victim.
