The angel of Highgate - Vaughn Entwistle

"NOTHING LESS THAN THE WICKEDEST MAN IN LONDON."

It is October 1859, and notorious philanderer Lord Geoffrey Thraxton cares for nothing except his own amusement. After humiliating an odious literary critic and surviving the resulting duel, he boasts of his contempt for mortality, and insults the attending physician. It is a mistake he will come to regret. When Thraxton becomes obsessed with a mysterious woman who appears to him one fog-shrouded night in
Highgate Cemetery, he unwittingly provides the doctor with the perfect means to punish a man with no fear of death.
