In 1894, a well-respected academic is found dead in a gentlemen's convenience cubicle at the British Museum, the stall locked from the inside. Professor Lance Pickering had been due to give a talk promoting the museum's new 'Age of King Arthur' exhibition when he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest.

Having forged a strong reputation working alongside the inimitable Inspector Abberline on the Jack the Ripper case, Daniel Wilson is called in to solve the mystery of the locked cubicle murder. He brings his expertise and archaeologist Abigail Fenton with him.

However, it isn't long before the museum becomes the site of another fatality, and the pair face mounting pressure to deliver results. With enquiries compounded by persistent journalists, local vandals, and a fanatical society, Wilson and Fenton face a race against time to salvage the reputation of the museum and catch a murderer desperate for revenge.

Murder at the British Museum by Jim Eldridge presents a thrilling mystery set against the backdrop of historical intrigue and suspense.
