Fleet Lane: a novel

A new novel of surgery, sex and madness in Georgian London. Free to download!

Henry Mendel is a gifted, hard-drinking, half-Jewish surgeon who works unlicensed in the steaming back streets of 1760s London. Johann Paternoster is the Master of the Company of Surgeons who wants Mendel dead. There’s a brother who’s a poet and a mistress who may be an actress (or an angel), there’s Gillen the graverobber and the giant Joubert, there are favours at court and there’s debauchery in the slums, there’s gin and fever, Bedlam and butchery, and then there’s the publisher Octavius Clark, and his daughter, who they say drinks blood. From the author of ‘Wild Ink’ and ‘The Woodcock’, this is Georgian London, bones and blood and guts and all.
