我来评论这本书:
内容提要:
Victorian London.Fog bound,stinking,sinister.This is journalist Edmund Whitty's world.He is an habitue of taverns and gaming dens.He has lost fortunes.And he can't find a story.He is being scooped by his rivals and his creditors are closing in on him.
Spiritualism is the new fad.An American detective asks Whitty to unmask a fraudulent psychic.Whitty has no other options,but the seance doesn't go to plan.Whitty hears the voice of his dead brother imploring him to right the wrongs of his life. Whitty finds himself on a dangerous adventure that will take him into the highest echelons of society,where the bizarre and the sordid are the everyday currency,where young lives are sacrificed at strange whims,wher Whitty himself will not escape accusations of murder and terrible imprisonment. 目录:
