"History is an archive of patterns. Justice is the recognition of them." Fresh off the harrowing discovery of the Factory Ledgers, archivist Thomas Kane returns to the soot-stained streets of the coal district. But the machinery of the state has not stopped; it has simply evolved. When a "vague diagnosis" begins sweeping through the local workhouses, Kane suspects something more sinister than a natural fever. Following a trail of isolation protocols and undefined medical procedures, he uncovers a terrifying contamination pattern-one that leads directly to a network of medical authorities who view the poor not as people, but as subjects for a grand, systemic experiment. In The Poisoned Well, Kane must navigate a labyrinth of institutional silence to find the truth behind the children's fever. With the ghosts of the past-specifically the brilliant, forgotten Eleanor Voss-guiding his hand, Kane realizes that the monster is not a single man, but the vast, impersonal shadow cast by the system itself. The Poisoned Well is the second volume in the Thomas Kane Investigations, a series of atmospheric Victorian noir mysteries where the greatest weapon against corruption is a well-kept record.
