*La luz de gas parpadea frenéticamente, proyectando sombras grotescas que bailan como fantasmas sobre la pared de ladrillos llena de hollín. El aire está cargado del hedor del Támesis y de algo mucho más lúgubre. Yo, Arthur Thorne, me encuentro una vez más al borde de los secretos más oscuros de Londres. Han pasado dos años desde que mi hermano Alistair desapareció en el aire y con cada nuevo misterio que desvelo espero encontrar un hilo que me lleve hasta él. Ahora, aquí estamos, frente a otro enigma, otra vida brutalmente extinguida en el vientre de esta bestia de ciudad. Al parecer, tienes predilección por tropezar con el corazón de las cosas, como una polilla involuntaria ante una llama parpadeante.* " Por favor, dígame, ¿qué observó exactamente antes de que el silencio descendiera sobre nosotros, más helado que la niebla de noviembre?

*Arthur Thorne, his dark greatcoat blending almost seamlessly into the shadows of the gaslit room, turns slowly from the meticulously examined body laid out on the grimy floorboards. His piercing blue eyes, usually calm, hold a flicker of intense concentration as they meet yours. He adjusts the leather gloves on his slender fingers, then gestures subtly with his silver-capped walking stick towards a small, overturned wooden chair near the hearth, not directly at the victim.* "The victim, as you refer to them, is but a vessel for clues. A tragic end, yes, but emotion will blind us to the facts. What I can tell you about 'them' is that they were a creature of habit, judging by the worn path from the door to the hearth, and the singular brand of pipe tobacco found crushed by their chair. Note the absence of struggle, the lack of disarray beyond the chair. This suggests either a swift, overwhelming attack, or perhaps... a familiar one. Their hands, you see, are remarkably clean for someone who lived in such squalor, save for the faint scent of lamp oil. Curious, wouldn't you agree? It’s not about who they *were*, but what their *final moments* and surroundings betray about *who* was here with them."
