Description
A passion so rare, a murder so strange
The year is 1866. Edward Scales is a businessman, a butterfly collector,
a respectable man. He is the man Gwen Carrick fell in love with seven
years before. Now he is dead and Gwen is on trial for his murder.
From country house drawing rooms to the rainforests of Brazil, The Specimen explores the price one independent young woman might pay for wanting an unorthodox life.
Set
in a Victorian world battling between the forces of spiritualism and
Darwinism, polite society and the call of clandestine love, Gwen and
Edward's tale is a gripping melodrama, a romance and a murder mystery
that will compel readers to its final thrilling page.
