And by fire : a novel / Evie Hawtrey.

Hawtrey, Evie, (author.).

Summary:
A Detective Inspector with the City Police, Nigella Parker, teams up with her ex of Scotland Yard to track down a serial killer who is creating sculptures around London using burnt human flesh and becoming the "artist's" unwitting next targets.
When a charred figure is found curled beside Sir Christopher Wren’s Monument to the Great Fire of London, Nigella Parker, Detective Inspector with the City Police, is dragged into a case pitting her against a murderous artist creating sculptures using burnt flesh. She partners with Colm O’Leary of Scotland Yard to track the arsonist across greater London. They race to connect the dots between an antique nail pulled from a dead man's hands and a long-forgotten architect dwarfed by the life's work of Sir Christopher Wren. Digging into Wren's legacy leads the DCIs into the coldest of cold cases: a search for a bookseller gone missing during the Great Fire of London. More than 350 years earlier, while looking for their friend, a second pair of detectives-- a lady-in-waiting to the Queen and a royal fireworks maker-- discovered foul play in the supposedly accidental destruction of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Can these centuries-old crimes help catch a modern-day murderer? -- adapted from jacket
