Yellow Face

Yellow Face

Yellow Face

Fred M. White

London is being haunted by a face. Grinning yellow posters of a man named Nostalgo appear on scaffolds across the city, his unsettling smile a warning no one can decode. Then comes the murder: a body, horribly disfigured, bearing a shocking resemblance to the figure on those creepy posters, is found, and then vanishes from a police station itself. Into this nightmare steps Jack Masefield, a man who only wanted to protect his fiancée Claire from her mysterious guardian Anstruther. But as Jack pulls at the threads of this impossible case, he uncovers a web of greed, deception, and cold-blooded revenge that reaches into the highest corners of Victorian London. The vanished corpse, the laughing face on every wall, the shadowy guardian, what is Nostalgo, and why is his ghost apparently walking the streets? White weaves a breathless tale where nothing is as it seems and every shadow hides a secret.
