Krátky popis
'Compelling and utterly absorbing ... an artfully crafted debut
that echoes the dark essence of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN while
maintaining a fascinating originality all of its own' Susan

and ambition, passion and intrigue' Jess Kidd, author of THE NIGHT
SHIPMary is the great-niece of Victor Frankenstein. She knows her
great uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the Arctic
but she doesn't know why or how...The 1850s is a time of discovery
and London is ablaze with the latest scientific theories and
debates, especially when a spectacular new exhibition of dinosaur
sculptures opens at the Crystal Palace. Mary, with a sharp mind and
a sharper tongue, is keen to make her name in this world of
science, alongside her geologist husband Henry, but without wealth
and connections, their options are limited. But when Mary discovers
some old family papers that allude to the shocking truth behind her
great-uncle's past, she thinks she may have found the key to
securing their future...Their quest takes them to the wilds of
Scotland, to Henry's intriguing but reclusive sister Maisie, and to
a deadly chase with a rival who is out to steal their secret...
