The Cartographer of Lost Names
A Victorian Historical Mystery with a Twisty Thriller TwistBy Edmund Vale
Length11h 43m
About this audiobook
London, 1887. Elias Croft draws maps for a living, and he is very good at it — good enough that a widow with cold grey eyes hires him to chart the burial grounds the city has quietly forgotten.
But as Elias inks the lost churchyards of the East End into being, he finds a village on an old survey that shouldn't exist. He finds his own name in a ledger of orphans. He finds the date of his birth inked over in a careful hand.
Someone has been rewriting the map of London. Someone has been rewriting the people on it.
And the men who drew the false maps are dying — one a year, in small, tidy ways.
Elias must chart the truth before the cartographer of lost names draws him into the margin. A Victorian mystery of ink, revenge and forty stolen children, with a twist no reader will see coming.
