Description
Ghosts of Manhattan is set against the backdrop of a society on the brink of collapse. New York, a city of excess and power, struggles to contain its troubles as it teeters on the edge of lawlessness and disorder. The United States finds itself at odds with a British Empire still reeling from the recent passing of Queen Victoria, whose life has been artificially prolonged to 107 years old. This diplomatic standoff serves as a microcosm for the country's own internal struggles, as its citizens turn to illicit means to cope with their troubles. In this gritty and suspenseful tale, George Mann explores the darker side of human nature, where even the smallest misstep could be the catalyst for chaos.
