Description
The United States finds itself locked in a diplomatic standoff with a British Empire who has only just buried Queen Victoria, her life artificially preserved to the age of 107.
The hub of both the excesses and power of the states, New York stands as a gaudy beacon for a country trying to drown its troubles in illegal gin. It's a society on the brink of destruction, where any low-level crook could be the tipping balance into lawlessness and disorder.
In Ghosts of Manhattan (A Ghost Novel), George Mann explores this tumultuous period with a tale of intrigue and suspense set against a backdrop of political tension and societal breakdown.
