Riassunto

In the summer of 1736, Marius Hope, a troubled young doctor, takes leave of his responsibilities at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, and journeys to The Wells (Royal Tunbridge Wells), an up-and-coming spa town set to rival Bath. Hope’s idyllic new life is interrupted when he finds himself caught up in a series of events—two fatal fires and a death on the town racecourse. Hope is called upon to make use of his medical background to aid the authorities in exposing the culprits. The young doctor is forced to confront his increasing suspicion that Maurice Conyers is behind the murders. Drawn ever deeper into the intrigues of the spa town, Hope is exposed to ruthless attack. The pressure is on for him to find the mastermind of the plot or lose his life at the hands of his unknown adversary. This novel is based on historical fact, with many of the characters involved in the scandal contributing to the narrative.
