Harriet Vale

The Bone Collector of Whitechapel (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the fog-choked streets of Victorian London, death whispers louder than life. When eccentric naturalist Dr. Horace Flint is found dead in his study, the official verdict is "heart attack." But morgue assistant Ivy Quill sees what others miss-strange bruises, a torn collar, and the absence of a priceless fossil replaced by a crude clay replica.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ivy enlists the help of Tom, a quick-witted chimney sweep who knows every shadowed alley of Whitechapel. Their search plunges them into a world of stolen antiquities, secret societies, and ruthless rivals in the cutthroat scientific community. Each clue draws them deeper into a conspiracy that entwines science with the macabre-and reveals that Dr. Flint's death was only the beginning.

As the bodies mount and the fog thickens, Ivy must risk everything-her reputation, her life, and the fragile future she dreams of-to expose a killer who collects more than bones.

Atmospheric, chilling, and richly detailed, The Bone Collector of Whitechapel is perfect for fans of The Alienist, Stalking Jack the Ripper, and Victorian gothic mysteries where every shadow hides a secret.

Autorenporträt

Harriet Vale is the critically acclaimed author of The Widow's Ledger and The Bone Collector of Whitechapel, celebrated for her immersive prose, intricate plotting, and richly atmospheric depictions of Victorian London. With a storyteller's instinct for suspense and a historian's eye for detail, Vale conjures a world where secrets have weight, justice is rarely swift, and determined women step out from the margins to uncover the truth.

Her debut, The Widow's Ledger, introduced readers to Eleanor Atwood, a grieving seamstress turned reluctant investigator, while The Bone Collector of Whitechapel followed Ivy Quill through the gaslit underworld of science, deception, and murder. Both novels were praised for their feminist lens, compelling mystery, and their unflinching exploration of class and power in the 19th century.

In her latest novel, The Seamstress of Paternoster Row, Vale returns to the smog-choked streets and shadowy societies of London's past with a new heroine and a fresh conspiracy stitched into silk and blood.

Harriet Vale lives in the countryside of Sussex, where she writes surrounded by her research books, rescued greyhounds, and too many teacups. Her next novel, The Lake, promises to venture beyond the city and into the mysteries hidden in the quiet wild.
