Queen of Bedlam

«It is said: better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. However, in the summer of 1702 in the city of New York, there were no curses spared, for the candles were small and the darkness was great». Thus, welcome to colonial New York, once a Dutch settlement known as New Amsterdam. The city — all 5,000 inhabitants — is eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new governor (rumored to be a close relative of Her Majesty the Queen of England). Meanwhile, Matthew Corbett, the clerk of the magistrate, is troubled by the mystery of a serial killer known as the Masker. And it seems that the key to his identity is held by an elderly lady living in a distant asylum for the insane, known as the Queen of Bedlam… «A captivating historical mystery from an author who could rival in his field even the „King of Horror“ Stephen King» (Publishers Weekly) is being published in a new translation. The book also includes the story «Night Ride», which takes place shortly after the events of «Queen of Bedlam».
