Mayfair, 1878 The scandal-soaked historical mystery that will keep you turning pages deep into the night... A murdered courtesan. A clairvoyant's desperate deception. And a crusading editor who could expose everything —if only his heart would let him! When one of Madame Chambon's most sought-after "Fallen Angels" is found dead in Mayfair, Lily, Lady Bradden, knows her own precarious sanctuary at the pleasure house hangs by a thread. Forced to play the part of a spirit medium to survive, she's already treading a dangerous line between deception and discovery. Now she must find a killer before she becomes the next victim. Hamish McTavish, the righteous editor of Manners & Morals, has made his career exposing London's frauds and charlatans. The mysterious Lady Bradden should be just another story—if only he could ignore the magnetic pull she has on his heart. When their paths collide over a murder investigation, Hamish must decide: pursue the truth, or protect the woman who's awakened feelings he thought long buried. But as Russian diplomats circle, a vengeful husband closes in, and more bodies appear, Lily and Hamish discover that in a world of secrets and lies, trust may be the deadliest gamble of all. A Fatal Rendezvous in Mayfair is Book 1 in the exciting London Ladies in Peril series, perfect for fans of Victorian Gothic Murder Mysteries where danger and desire walk hand in hand.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant—and neglected—science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called “the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced.” “[Wyndham] avoids easy allegories and instead questions the relative values of the civilisation that has been lost, the literally blind terror of humanity in the face of dominant nature. . . . Frightening and powerful, Wyndham’s vision remains an important allegory and a gripping story.”—The Guardian What if a meteor shower left most of the world blind—and humanity at the mercy of mysterious carnivorous plants? Bill Masen undergoes eye surgery and awakes the next morning in his hospital bed to find civilization collapsing. Wandering the city, he quickly realizes that surviving in this strange new world requires evading strangers and the seven-foot-tall plants known as triffids—plants that can walk and can kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers.
