Description
Presented by James Patterson’s new children’s imprint, this delightfully eerie horror novel is inspired by the Ripper murders and features an unexpected, spine-tingling conclusion. Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born into a life of wealth and privilege as a lord’s daughter. Yet, amidst the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a secret, forbidden life.
Defying her stern father’s wishes and society’s expectations, Audrey often sneaks away to her uncle’s laboratory to study the grisly art of forensic medicine. Her work on a series of savagely mutilated corpses pulls Audrey into the investigation of a serial killer, bringing her dangerously close to her own sheltered world.
With shocking twists and turns and real, sinister period photos, this #1 New York Times bestselling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco is unforgettable.
