Synopsis:
It is October 1859, and Lord Geoffrey Thraxton is notorious in Victorian society—a Byronesque rake with a reputation as the “wickedest man in London” who cares for nothing except his own amusement. But on a fog-shrouded morning in Highgate Cemetery, Thraxton encounters a spectral wraith that stirs his morbid fascination with death and the supernatural.

After surviving a pistol duel with an odious literary critic, Thraxton boasts of his contempt for death and insults the attending physician. It is a mistake he will regret, for Silas Garrette is a deranged sociopath and chloroform-addict whose mind was broken on the battlefields of Crimea. When Thraxton falls in love with a mysterious woman who haunts Highgate Cemetery by night, he unwittingly provides the murderous doctor with the perfect means to punish a man with no fear of death.
