PARIS 1889. THE WORLD’S FAIR
The Alchemist is how I’ve come to think of him; he has a passion for the dark side of knowledge, mixing murder and madness with science
Nellie Bly – reporter, feminist and amateur detective – is in Paris on the trail of an enigmatic killer.
The city is a dangerous place: an epidemic of Black Fever rages, anarchists plot to overthrow the government and a murderer preys on the prostitutes who haunt the streets of Montmartre. But it is also a city of cul
ture, a magnet for artists and men of science and letters. Can the combined genius of Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne and Louis Pasteur help Nellie prove a match for Jack the Ripper?‘Dazzling’ William Martin
