About this listen
The Moon's More Feeble Fire
In 1930, the killing of a Soho prostitute is hardly a priority for Scotland Yard. But when a second, similar murder comes to light, and then a third, everything changes. Cuthbert and his team find themselves in a nightmarish world of people-trafficking, prostitution and drug use amongst the upper classes.
Using all his forensic skills, Cuthbert sets out to solve one of the most baffling cases of his career. One final question remains unanswered until a faded photograph reveals its tragic secret.
Content warning: Contains offensive language reflective of the period in which the fictional novel is set.

'Deeply immersive ... The twists and turns are exquisite.' (Undiscovered Scotland)
'It's deliciously dark, vividly visceral, heartbreakingly harrowing and jam packed with all the emotions. I can't wait to meet Dr Jack Cuthbert again!' (on The Silent House of Sleep) (Sharon Bairden, author of Sins of the Father and You Need Me)
'Heartbreaking and harrowing in equal measure. Dr Jack Cuthbert is a brilliant, damaged genius you’ll want to follow to hell and back.' (on The Silent House of Sleep) (Pauline McLean, BBC Scotland Arts Correspondent)
'Cuthbert himself is a finely conceived and drawn character.' (on The Silent House of Sleep) (The Scotsman)
'This novel incorporates the best qualities of a thriller, historical fiction and a crime procedural and is well worth your time.' (LoveReading)
