The Soul Thief

The Soul Thief Synopsis

A brand new gothic horror for fans of Sarah Waters and Carly Reagon

'A model of Victorian gothic… should be read by the light of a flickering gas lamp' Mike Ripley

At the end of a long nightshift at the hospital Dr Warren Carter is offered a nightcap by a beautiful young nurse. Warren is exhausted and he knows he the consequences if he's caught in the nurses' quarters. He should resist, but he can't. Rosie is very persuasive. That night everything changes for Warren and his life starts to crumble around him.

He turns to his dear friend Mitchell Bishop, a private investigator, for help - can he locate Rosie and discover the truth of that fateful night? But Mitchell can find no trace of Rosie, from what he can see she doesn't exist. Instead, Mitchell finds a family gripped in madness.

When Mitchell sees Warren's younger sister sectioned and his friend's behaviour becoming increasingly erratic, he knows he must discover the truth before the whole family is lost. Mitchell is a rational man, looking for a rational explanation, but instead his investigations take him down an impossible path.
