The dress lodger
by Sheri Holman
Popularity 14
"Holman delivers a stunning exploration of sinister Industrial England, prostitution, and the dark secrets of nineteenth-century medical science. Reminiscent of An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears and the works of Caleb Carr, The Dress Lodger is a historical thriller charged with a distinctly modern voice."--BOOK JACKET.
