Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge

'Grisly, addictive fun . . . I devoured it in 24 hours' Emilia Hart, author of Weyward In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . . London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared. Maude, her older sister, knows only that Constance abandoned the apothecary they call home, and, disguised as a boy, boarded a ship bound for the Arctic. She never returned. A tragic accident, the Admiralty called it. But Maude Horton knows something isnt right. When she finds Constances journal, it becomes clear that the truth is being buried by sinister forces. To find answers and deliver justice for her sister Maude must step into Londons dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the citys horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussauds. It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . . 'Brilliant! Stuffed with adventure' - Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle 'A gripping adventure story' - Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters 'Victorian gothic at its very very best' - Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of Pandora
