Illustrated edition of book 2 in the award-winning Kronberg & Holmes series.
She's spent years hiding in plain sight. Now she's trapped in his.
When Professor James Moriarty discovers Dr Anna Kronberg's true identity, he doesn't expose her; he abducts her. Imprisoned in his mansion, she must choose: develop biological weapons that could kill thousands, or watch everyone she loves die.
As days of captivity blur into months, the lines between captor and captive, compliance and resistance, begin to dissolve. When Moriarty's obsession takes a darker turn, Anna must decide: become the weapon he desires, or turn her deadly knowledge against him.
The expertise that makes her valuable might be her only path to freedom.
If she's willing to become the very poison she creates.
A Gothic psychological thriller where Victorian medical knowledge becomes a woman's deadliest weapon. For readers of Sarah Waters's Fingersmith, Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, and Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White.
