    In this suspenseful historical thriller, Sigmund Freud becomes embroiled in the case of a sadistic killer targeting Manhattan's elite heiresses. Set during Freud's only visit to America in August 1909, the story begins as he arrives with Carl Jung, his rival and protégé. Meanwhile, a young woman is discovered murdered in her luxurious apartment, and a second heiress narrowly escapes the same fate but is left with amnesia regarding her attack. Dr. Stratham Younger, a dedicated Freudian analyst, seeks Freud's expertise to help unravel the complexities of the young survivor, Nora Acton, whose tumultuous family history mirrors his own. The narrative takes readers through the opulent salons of Gramercy Park, hidden passages, and the depths of Chinatown, even venturing beneath the East River where laborers construct the Manhattan Bridge. As Freud navigates a conspiracy aimed at undermining him, Younger embarks on a thrilling journey into the intricacies of the human psyche. Richly satisfying and elegantly crafted, this debut novel captivates with its blend of historical detail and psychological intrigue, earning accolades such as the Best Read of the Year award from Richard and Judy's Bookclub in the UK.
