THE GRIMALDI VAULTS

Spring 1933. With Hitler now Reichschancellor of Germany, Ilse Blau—the infamous star of erotic films and self-styled ‘Queen of Depravity’ of Weimar cabaret—adopts a pseudonym and flees Berlin to escape the cultural cleansing of the Nazi regime.

A few weeks later, whilst investigating a seemingly run-of-the-mill missing persons case, George Harley stumbles upon a clandestine decadent night-club in the vaults of the Joseph Grimaldi pub in Fitzrovia.

A child abduction … a dismembered body in a suitcase … Occultist rituals … it isn’t long before Harley is once again trawling the seedy labyrinth of the capital’s demimonde searching for clues to another sinister mystery.

And behind it all lurks the menacing shadow of his arch-enemy, Osbert Morkens; but Morkens is still safely locked away in a padded cell in Broadmoor … isn’t he?

Nazis.
Murder.
Black Magic.
And scary clowns.

It’s business as usual for the cockney detective in: "THE GRIMALDI VAULTS"—the second in the George Harley Mysteries series.
