The Frankenstein Chronicles

Three years have passed since John Marlott escaped from Daniel Hervey. Now, he remains chained in a cell at Royal Bethlem Hospital.

John Marlott adopts a new identity and gains employment. He believes someone is lying about the recent murders of local clergymen and he is determined to uncover the truth.

Public outrage over the clergy murders mounts as Marlott grows closer to widowed seamstress Esther and interrogates his former nemesis, Billy Oates.

Marlott suspects his allies are in danger after an encounter with mysterious aristocrat Frederick Dipple; Spence reveals the truth about the plague.

Boz confirms that Hervey is still alive, leading Marlott into danger at a supposedly deserted tower owned by Dipple and used to store blocks of ice.

Captured and chained, Marlott must free himself and rescue Esther from Hervey, while rival law enforcement factions unite to apprehend Dipple.
