A brilliant historical mystery series begins: in gaslit Victorian London, writer Thomas De Quincey must become a detective to clear his own name. Thomas De Quincey, infamous for his memoir Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, is the major suspect in a series of ferocious mass murders identical to ones that terrorized London forty-three years earlier. The blueprint for the killings seems to be De Quincey's essay On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts. Desperate to clear his name but crippled by opium addiction, De Quincey is aided by his devoted daughter Emily and a pair of determined Scotland Yard detectives. In Murder as a Fine Art, David Morrell plucks De Quincey, Victorian London, and the Ratcliffe Highway murders from history. Fogbound streets become a battleground between a literary star and a brilliant murderer, whose lives are linked by secrets long buried but never forgotten.

If you like reading the likes of Cara Hunter, Stuart MacBride and Karin Slaughter, then this grisly, thought-provoking and spine-tingling thriller from international bestselling author Michael White is perfect for you. The case just will not let you go... WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE ART OF MURDER 'Had me turning the pages' -- ***** Reader review 'Loved it' -- ***** Reader review ********************************************************************************************* THE MOST FAMOUS KILLER IN HISTORY HAS A DISCIPLE - IN 21ST-CENTURY LONDON... In all his years on the force, Detective Chief Inspector Pendragon had never seen a corpse like this one. After the initial horror, he recognised the reference to the surrealist painter, Magritte. But that made the crime even more sickening - accomplished, as it had been, with a ferocity which placed it in another league from common or garden murder. It brought to mind the crimes committed in in the Whitechapel area of London in the 1880s by a person who remains unidentified to this day: a series of sadistic murders of local prostitutes, which involved elaborate mutilation of the victims' bodies. Although the contemporary crimes are not directed exclusively at female targets, there is grotesque similarity in the mindset of the two perpetrators - divided, as they are, by more than a century. But Pendragon is determined that his pathologically brilliant killer will not escape detection.

The history of the evolution of the traditional English murder, from Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes to the cozy crimes of the Golden Age. Murder—a dark, shameful deed, the last resort of the desperate or a vile tool of the greedy. And a very strange obsession. But where did this fixation develop?
