Longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Historical Dagger Award

'This is escapist fiction at its best. Grisly, addictive fun . . . I devoured it in 24 hours' - Emilia Hart, author of Weyward

An addictive Gothic historical fiction set in the macabre world of Victorian London. From the capital's stinking streets to the icy landscapes of the Arctic, Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge by Lizzie Pook follows an intrepid heroine, ready to risk it all to seek the truth and avenge her missing sister.

London, 1850. The adventurous Constance Horton has disguised herself as a boy and embarked on a perilous expedition to the Arctic. But when the ship returns without Constance, her sister Maude is determined to find out what happened.

While the truth about her fate is buried by sinister forces, a hastily scribbled journal may just provide some answers . . .

To deliver justice for her sister, Maude must step into London's dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind who seek their fortune in the city's horrors, from the public hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors.

It is a perilous task. But Maude has surprisingly dangerous skills of her own . . .

'Brilliant! Stuffed with adventure' - Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

'Victorian gothic at its very very best' - Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of Pandora
