About this audiobook
The dead man's chest was open, and inside it, a brass heart was still ticking.
In the fog-choked streets of a gaslit city, Deputy Marshal Thomas Rourke has seen men shot, stabbed, and drowned.
He has never seen a corpse with a clockwork heart bolted to its spine, pushing blood through a body that has no right to move.
One note, pinned to the coat with a pearl-handled hatpin.
The Gilded Heart beats on.
Every thread leads back to Cordelia Haskins, the brass-fingered inventor in the Mission District who builds mechanical limbs the law says she shouldn't.
Thomas has known her since they were children.
He wants to clear her.
He's terrified he can't.
Because someone in this city forges custom hearts for the dead.
Someone knows exactly where to cut.
And the more Thomas digs, the less he trusts his own memory of the night it all began.
A dangerous obsession.
A blackmail plot whispered in saloons.
A secret society that the last marshal called a fairy tale before he fled town and never said why.
Then the killer reaches out from the smoke, and the voice that has been guiding Thomas all along says the words that make his blood run cold.
"You already know who I am, Marshal. You just can't bear to remember."
Now the only way to stop the Gilded Heart is to face the lie he's been telling himself, and the stranger who knew too much may be the man in the mirror.
Brass and Bone is an addictive, ominous gaslamp psychological suspense novel about a dangerous obsession, an unreliable narrator, a blackmail plot, a clockwork killer, a secret society, and a stranger who knew far too much.
Perfect for readers who love gaslamp suspense, unreliable narrators, twisty serial-killer mysteries, atmospheric Victorian-flavored thrillers, and a mind that cannot trust itself. A standalone suspense novel with a shattering twist.
