In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . .
We’re excited to share that Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge, the brand new gothic thriller by Lizzie Pook, launches today in paperback in the UK with Picador.
In 1850s London, Constance Horton has disappeared and her sister Maude is determined to find out what’s happened. She discovers that Constance has disguised herself as a boy and boarded a ship bound for the Arctic, but when the ship returns without her the truth about her fate is buried by sinister forces. To find answers – and deliver justice for her sister – Maude must step into London’s dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own…
Following on from her successful debut Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter, Pook delivers a gripping and riveting read for fans of murder mysteries and Victorian gothic fiction.
Rosie Andrews, author of THE LEVIATHAN, has praised Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge as ‘’Adventurous and beautifully written, I loved the clever, propulsive storytelling and the wealth of historical detail.’
Emilia Hart, author of New York Times bestselling WEYWARD, calls it “escapist fiction at its best. Grisly, addictive fun – as glorious as the titular character’s revenge. I devoured it in 24 hours.”
