The Fatal Epistles

In the soot-choked streets of Lonsdale, a maimed veteran of the Continental War becomes an avenging spectre. Armed with a pen dipped in vengeance, Arthur Hunt dispatches lethal love letters to those he deems traitors of the heart. But as the shadow of the Royal Asylum for Invalid Soldiers lengthens, his crusade entangles him with a forgotten betrayal from his own youth—a bloody lie that transforms a quest for justice into a preordained journey toward the gallows. A Dickensian tale where the grinding mills of law and medicine conspire to forge a monster, proving that fate is nothing more than character sharpened on the whetstone of a pitiless world.
