Gideon's Night (Gideon #3)

“The finest of all Scotland Yard series” New York Times

A wave of horror engulfs London on a breathless and unrelenting night for Gideon of Scotland Yard.

London is shrouded in deep fog—which means a good night for those outside the law and a tough one for Commander George Gideon.

A vicious gang war simmers with violence. Three babies are snatched from their cots, leaving their parents in despair. Robbers plan to ransack a valuable warehouse. A man vanishes. Then his wife disappears, too.

And there’s The Prowler—a demonic man using the cover of darkness to spread terror among London’s women.

The city is on the brink of chaos. But Gideon is hard at work. And when he starts closing in, no criminal can relax.
