Thriller Historical
London, June 1860: When an assassination attempt is made
on Queen Victoria, and a petty thief is gruesomely
murdered moments later—and only a block away—Chief
Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that
these crimes are connected to an even more sinister plot.
Was Victoria really the assassin’s target? Are those
closest to the Crown hiding something? And who is the
shadowy figure witnesses describe as having lifeless,
coal-black eyes? Soon, Field’s investigation exposes a shocking conspiracy
in which the publication of Charles Darwin’s
controversial On the Origin of Species sets off a string
of murders, arson, kidnapping, and the pursuit of a
madman named the Chorister. As the investigation takes
Field from the dangerous alleyways of London to the
hallowed halls of Oxford, the list of possible
conspirators grows, and the body count escalates. And as
he edges closer to the Chorister, he uncovers dark
secrets that were meant to remain forever hidden.
Tim Mason has created a rousing page-turner that both
Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would relish
and envy.
