Description
"The saying goes: when you curse the darkness, better light a candle. However, in the summer of 1702 in the city of New York, people managed without no curses—because candles were small, and the darkness was great."
So, welcome to Colonial New York, not so long ago the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. The city—only 5,000 residents—waits anxiously for the arrival of a new governor (rumor has it, a close relative of Her Majesty the Queen of England). And yet Matthew Corbett, the magistrate’s secretary, can’t shake a mystery about a serial killer known as the Maskmaker. It seems that the key to his identity is kept by an elderly lady living far away in an asylum for the insane—known as the Queen of Bedlam…
This gripping historical detective story from the author who can compete in his field with Stephen King, the "King of Horrors" (Publishers Weekly), is published in a new translation. The book also includes, for the first time, the novella "Night Ride," set shortly after the events of "The Queen of Bedlam."
