Anne Perry, that incomparable novelist of life in Victorian England, has once again surpassed herself, with this twenty-first installment of her New York Times bestselling William Monk series. In Corridors of the Night, nurse Hester Monk and her husband, William, commander of the Thames River Police, do desperate battle with two obsessed scientists who in the name of healing have turned to homicide.
The monomaniacal Rand brothersāMagnus, a cunning doctor, and Hamilton, a genius chemistāare ruthless in their pursuit of a cure for what was then known as the fatal āwhite-blood disease.ā In Londonās Royal Naval Hospital annex, Hester is tending one of the brothersā dying patients when she stumbles upon three weak, terrified young children, and learns to her horror that theyāve been secretly purchased and imprisoned by the Rands for experimental purposes.
But the Rand brothers are too close to a miracle cure to allow their experiments to be exposed. Before Hester can reveal the truth, she too becomes a prisoner. As Monk and his faithful friendsādistinguished lawyer Oliver Rathbone and reformed brothel keeper Squeaky Robinson among themāscour Londonās grimy streets and the beautiful English countryside searching for her, Hesterās time, as well as the childrenās, is quickly draining away.
Taut with intrigue and laced with white-knuckled terror, Corridors of the Night is Anne Perry at her magnificent, unforgettable best.
