A tense Victorian mystery of secrets, medicine, and a city’s hidden dangers. A careful, suspenseful debut that lingers after the last page.
In this gripping tale, a physician’s household hides more than it reveals. An inquest looms, suspicions rise, and a web of rivalries, care, and concealment threads through the rooms of a medical practice and the lives of those who attend it. The narrative follows characters drawn with sharp detail, whose motives blur the line between care and calculation, duty and desire.
