Beschreibung
A mute boy. A murdered journalist. A conspiracy written on counterfeit bills. When Inspector McCurley finds a deaf boy huddled against a corpse, he expects a simple murder case. But the dead man was investigating something that powerful people need buried. And the boy saw everything. McCurley turns to Dr Elizabeth Arlington - the one person who might reach the traumatised child. As she coaxes words from the boy's trembling hands, each hard-won revelation draws them deeper into a conspiracy that someone will kill to protect. The boy knows faces. He knows names. He knows where the bodies are buried. In a city where money talks and the poor disappear, Arthur's memories are currency someone's willing to kill for. This Victorian noir thriller is perfect for readers who love the gritty realism of The Alienist, seek darker alternatives to Sherlock Holmes, and want their heroines unapologetically dangerous. The Arlington & McCurley Mysteries are a continuation of the award-winning Kronberg & Holmes series.
