Book description
It was my friend, Bram Stoker, who told me of the legend of the
Wanderer a man who made a bargain with the devil himself, trading
his soul for forbidden knowledge and eternal life.
Once I would have dismissed such tales as mere fancy but I knew
what I had seen. And there is no mind so open as that of desperate man.
A dark Gothic Victorian thriller, The Kingdom of Bones
unfolds in a twilight world of music halls, boxing booths, and
travelling theatrical shows; and pits a formidable Pinkerton detective
against a man who fears more than justice.
