  Against the vividly drawn backdrop of Victorian London, amateur sleuth Charles Lenox must unlock a mystery concealed in the architecture of the city itself, in this new novel from acclaimed author Charles Finch.It's 1879, and Lenox is convalescing from the violent events of his last investigation. But a desperate letter from an old servant forces him to pick up the trail of a cold case: the murder of an apothecary seven years before, whose only clue is an odd emblem carved into the doorway of the building where the man was killed. When Lenox finds a similar mark at the site of another murder, he begins to piece together a hidden pattern which leads him into the corridors of Parliament, the slums of East London, and ultimately the very heart of the British upper class.At the same time, Lenox must contend with the complexities of his personal life: a surprising tension with his steadfast wife, Lady Jane, over her public support of the early movement for women's suffrage; the arrival of Angela Lenox, a mysterious young cousin from India, with an unexpected companion; the dizzying ascent of his brother, Sir Edmund Lenox, to one of the highest political posts in the land; the growing family of his young partners in detection, Polly and Dallington; and the return of the problems that have long bedeviled one of his closest friends, the dashing Scottish physician Thomas McConnell.Featuring a beloved cast of characters, a top-notch puzzle, and Finch's trademark humor and richness of historical detail, The Hidden City is a novel by a master at the top of his form."Over time, [James] Langton has perfected the transitions between Lenox's aristocratic way of speaking and working-class British accents." —AudioFile on An Extravagant Death"[James] Langton excels at upper-class accents, delivering all the insouciance and flair of the privileged.... He makes the thefts, kidnapping, and murder a delicious puzzle for the struggling young detective and for listeners, as well." —AudioFile on The Vanishing ManA Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

  Ex-undercover agent Yves Dubreau has no memories, but plenty of enemies. When he moves in with a reluctant lady doctor, just who will be body-guarding whom? 
  John Doe remembers nothing of his life before waking up in the hospital. He doesn't know he was a dangerous man, and he somehow has survived assassination by even more dangerous men. He doesn't even know how to speak English. John needs long-term supervision and care to re-learn how to live. 
  Dr. Mitchell Oberon has been married to her surgical work for too long. She is comfortable in her spinsterish life. She resists being attracted to this brain-damaged patient with the body of Adonis and the mind of a child, but Agent Frank Stone, of Homeland Security, forces the doctor to take John Doe into her own home to recover. 
  Stone, who knows John Doe's past history well, says it's not safe to send him back to the place he lived before he was "killed" by his enemies. 
  If Duby's enemies find them, will either John or his lady doctor even know how to fight back? To survive? 
  Nobody predicts the bizarre events that will unfold when a "friend" betrays John and Dr. Oberon to Agent Dubreau's bloodthirsty foes!

As Casey works within a government-controlled lab, she begins to uncover secrets that could reshape society or bring about her downfall.
