The Yard is a phenomenal debut novel with a fascinating look at the earliest forensics, and the beginning of Scotland Yard as we know it today. Dr. Kingsley, the Yard’s first forensic pathologist, and Walter Day one of the newest hires for the Murder Squad are just two of the cast of fascinating characters that are on the case of a new serial killer – the first since Jack the Ripper introduced London to the concept of murder for murder’s sake. I hope we will see much more from the Yard’s Murder Squad.
