This is a "big read" -- a mystery with the 19th century flavour of Wilkie Collins or Dickens. Steeped in period detail and sustained suspense, it follows the life of young John Huffam as he seeks to unravel the dark secrets of his family's past. Somewhere in the underworld of pre-Victorian London lie the clues of the title's strange five-sided figure.
