Was Victoria really the assassin's target? Or were both crimes part of an even more sinister plot? Field's investigation soon exposes a shocking conspiracy: the publication of Charles Darwin's controversial On the Origin of Species has set off a string of terrible crimes--murder, arson, kidnapping. Witnesses describe a shadowy figure with lifeless, coal-black eyes. As the investigation takes Field from the dangerous alleyways of London to the hallowed halls of Oxford, the list of possible conspirators grows, and the body count escalates. And as he edges closer to the dastardly madman called the Chorister, he uncovers dark secrets that were meant to remain forever hidden. 650 0 $a Conspiracy theories $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 1800-1950 $v Fiction. $9 215260 600 00 $a Victoria, $c Queen of Great Britain, $d 1819-1901 $x Assassination attempts $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Darwin, Charles, $d 1809-1882. $t On the origin of species $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802185 941 $a 3 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230704021253.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230216155501.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061634.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59308256300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
