Synopsis

Dr Thon Hughes is a virologist who receives a letter, full of loathing from an anonymous person. In only about five minutes or so, he dies a mysterious death. Sadie, his wife, does not hesitate anymore and calls help right away.

They barge into Elbert's office, keeping him at gunpoint and G gets a phone call. Leaving the gun in Sebastian's hands, G answers the call and returns to them with a pair of handcuffs to use it on Elbert.

Days pass, having to visit the magistrate a few times and one day, she comes across a metal crate, belonging to Thon. She opens it and her worst nightmares had become true. Sadie realizes that Elbert had been true from the first, except his methods. But, it's too late for her to consider it because...

    It's a good read. The twist at the end gives me surprise, although I think this books is set at Victorian age or something like that? Because I don't think someone could get executed that fast. Anyway this is a good book. The writing, the character, the story are good (sorry for my lack of vocabulary). Anyway, I like this, here, take this solid 5* from me

    Plot twist after plot twist. An intriguing and gripping book where one cannot wait to see what happens next. I truly hope the author continues the journey of uncovering what exactly Thon was up to. Riveting indeed and never a dull a moment. Well done on this book author!
