Patience Worth

In Victorian London's fog-shrouded streets, the impossible becomes terrifyingly real...
When people begin vanishing from Whitechapel, leaving behind only floating personal effects and bewildered witnesses, librarian Patience Worth notices what others refuse to see, a pattern in the disappearances that defies rational explanation.
Armed with her keen intellect and the investigative techniques learned from her Uncle Frederick, Patience transforms her attic room into a war room of evidence: newspaper clippings pinned to walls, red string connecting seemingly unrelated incidents, and maps dotted with colored pins tracing a spiral of disappearances leading to the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Her investigation leads her to Dr. Bartholomew Evans, an aristocratic scientist whose donations to St. Bartholomew's Church hide sinister purposes. In the church's attic, Patience uncovers a secret laboratory filled with optical equipment and disturbing journals documenting experiments in invisibility, experiments that induce progressive madness in their subjects.
As Inspector Holloway dismisses her evidence as feminine hysteria, Patience realizes she alone stands between Dr. Evans and his next victims. The doctor, now invisible and descending rapidly into madness, stalks London selecting victims with specific physical characteristics for his desperate attempts to create an antidote.
In a final confrontation beneath the ancient church bells, Patience must use both scientific ingenuity and her willingness to consider the impossible if she hopes to make the invisible visible, and stop a brilliant mind consumed by its own terrifying creation.
A chilling tale of Victorian science gone horribly wrong, where the line between rational explanation and the inexplicable grows as thin as London's infamous fog.
