The Kingdom of Bones - Stephen Gallagher

It was my friend, Bram Stoker, who told me of the legend of the Wanderer a man who made a bargain with the devil himself, trading his soul for forbidden knowledge and eternal life.Once I would have dismissed such tales as mere fancy but I knew what I had seen. And there is no mind so open as that of desperate man.A dark Gothic Victorian thriller, The Kingdom of Bones unfolds in a twilight world of music halls, boxing booths, and travelling theatrical shows; and pits a formidable Pinkerton detective against a man who fears more than justice.
