Reader, I murdered him. A darkly brilliant Gothic retelling of Jane Eyre from the Edgar-nominated author of the Timothy Wilde series, described as 'amazing' by Gillian Flynn and 'solid-gold entertainment' by Lee Child. Like the heroine of the novel she adores, Jane Steele suffers cruelly at the hands of her aunt and schoolmaster. And like Jane Eyre, they call her wicked - but in her case, she fears the accusation is true. When she flees, she leaves behind the corpses of her tormentors. A fugitive navigating London's underbelly, Jane rights wrongs on behalf of the have-nots whilst avoiding the noose. Until an advertisement catches her eye. Her aunt has died and the new master at Highgate House, Mr Thornfield, seeks a governess. Anxious to know if she is Highgate's true heir, Jane takes the position and is soon caught up in the household's strange spell. When she falls in love with the mysterious Charles Thornfield, she faces a terrible dilemma: can she possess him - body, soul and secrets - and what if he discovers her murderous past?
Zpráva dr. Watsona o vraždách Jacka Rozparovače
Před více než sto dvaceti lety zalehla londýnský Whitechapel noční můra. Zvěrstva, která páchá tajemný zabiják na prostitutkách, jsou neslýchaná a bezradný Scotland Yard hledá pomoc u Sherlocka Holmese. Jedině výstřední detektiv z Baker Street, chladnokrevný podivín s geniálním mozkem, se může postavit Jacku Rozparovači a rozluštit jeho tajemství. Ani v nejčernějším snu by ho však nenapadlo, že při svém pátrání bude muset bojovat s podezřením, že Jack Rozparovač je – on sám. Mrazivý příběh zaznamenaný z pohledu dr. Watsona není jen mimořádnou a věrnou poctou holmesovskému kánonu, ale především živoucím vyprávěním a atmosférickou detektivkou, odehrávající se ve stínu londýnských ulic a přísvitu plynových lamp. Lyndsay Faeyová dokonale propojila mýtus Velkého detektiva se skutečnými krvavými událostmi, k nimž kriminalistika dodnes hledá klíč.
