'Red Hand' Summary
Two London gentlemen, Thomas and his friend, are drawn into a mysterious murder investigation. The victim, a young woman, has been killed with an ancient, blood-stained hand. The men's investigation leads them through the dark underbelly of Victorian London, uncovering secrets and disturbing truths about the nature of humanity.
