However London has not left her – for a young girl is discovered dead, dressed all in white, on the steps of the Foundling Museum. She turns out to be the third one found dead and there is a forth missing…
Alice may not only have to return to London but delve into the mind of a notorious child killer currently locked up in Northwood in order to see just who might be carrying on his gruesome deeds.
Travel Guide
The Foundling Museum
“The museum was hidden on a narrow turning off Hunter Street. The ctime scene had already been cleared away, and I sood on the firecorut , trying to picture the killer depositing a child’s body there, in the middle of the night
The Regency building was long and austere, with dozens of sash windows, dark grey bricks and a colonnaded front door. It has a direct view across Coram Fields, which local kids used as a football pitch in the summer.
When I walked inside, the interior was even grander than the facade with panelled wals and chequered floor tiles. A sign explained that the Foundling Hospital had become London’s first home for abandoned infants in the 1740s”
