When a series of strangled women are discovered in London-each marked by the same sinister token, a silk stocking-the city reels in fear. Journalist and amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham is drawn into the case, his curiosity sharpened by both intellect and instinct. As the body count rises and the evidence grows tangled in deceit and scandal, Sheringham must navigate high society's hypocrisies, the gossip of Fleet Street, and the shadowy corners of the city's underworld.
Blending razor-sharp wit, psychological insight, and masterful plotting, The Silk Stocking Murders showcases Anthony Berkeley at his best-a Golden Age mystery filled with red herrings, moral ambiguity, and a shocking reveal that will keep readers guessing until the final page.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margery Allingham.
