## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

East London gaslight flickers, autumn 1880. A hand-carved puppet with a glass heart dangles from a butcher’s ceiling, humming what might be a music-hall chorus.

A string of anatomists and politicians found sliced open. Police records vanish like stage smoke. A disgraced constable and a failing music-hall ventriloquist cross paths mid-investigation.

Some beast haunts the docks; others stare at their own reflections.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, dread, paranoid, slow-burn
