A WOMAN WRONGFULLY INCARCERATED. A DOCTOR FIGHTING TO FREE HER.

England, 1864. Dr Felix Cowdrey is working in a London free hospital, and hating every minute of it. So many of his patients have illnesses and injuries that cannot be treated, and his inability to help them pains him deeply.

But an unexpected encounter with the owner of a private lunatic asylum seems to offer what he wants most: the chance to make a name for himself and become a celebrated alienist.

Felix enjoys an early success with a female inmate at Flete House and all seems to be going well.

But the return of a young woman to the madhouse's best bedroom sets Felix on a new path that will expose a shocking family secret and uncover a deadly conspiracy that will change his life forever.

Perfect for lovers of classic Victorian mystery and suspense novels like Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Laura Purcell's The Corset and Claire Evans' The Graves of Whitechapel
