The Satyr's Dance

Harrogate, 1892, and a series of bizarre attacks coincides with the arrival of a freak show in the town. This contains just a single exhibit: a creature declared to be Charles Darwin's long sought-for, but hitherto undiscovered, Missing Link between mankind and the great apes. Atticus and Lucie Fox investigate and uncover an ancient wisdom, which concerns nothing less than the fall of the Divine and the final ascent of man. The Satyr’s Dance is a dark, Gothic tale of secrets and revenge, set against the backdrop of the Victorian Esoteric Revival.
