Description
Summer 1849 brings cholera to London, and with it, a desperate quest for answers. Joshua Jeavons, an idealistic engineer, sets out to uncover the cause of the epidemic.
As he delves deeper into the mystery, his personal life becomes increasingly entangled in the fog of uncertainty. The disappearance of his beautiful bride, Isobella, sets him on a perilous journey through the underbelly of 19th-century London.
This gripping tale of obsession and desperation offers a unique glimpse into one of history's most pivotal moments.
