Publisher Description
Inspector Charles Field hunts a serial killer targeting Florence Nightingale’s nurses in Crimea and women in London, in this twisty Victorian detective thriller from the author of The Darwin Affair.
This story finds Inspector Charles Field hunting a ruthless serial killer who is terrorizing Florence Nightingale and her nurses in Crimea in 1855. But when the main suspect turns up dead, Field determines the case is closed. Or is it?
Twelve years later in London, amidst the turmoil surrounding the expansion of voting rights, Field discovers a woman’s body, mouth covered by the killer’s signature embroidered rose. Did Field suspect the wrong man before, or is he dealing with a copycat? Either way, with his own family now at risk, he must race against time to stop the killer before more bodies turn up.
Populated with real figures of the day, from Benjamin Disraeli to Florence Nightingale herself, The Nightingale Affair offers vivid details, surprising twists, and an unforgettably creepy villain. This is a stand-alone novel, perfect for fans of Charles Finch’s Victorian detective stories.

“Compelling, in part because Nightingale herself is a fascinating character…[with] a blockbuster ending in subterranean London, rich historical detail, and a cast of real characters, from Benjamin Disraeli to Dickens himself.”

“Richness of incident, absorbing details, and a breathtaking finale elevate The Nightingale Affair to the top rank of historical shockers.”
— Wall Street Journal -
“The Nightingale Affair is at least as much of a thriller as it is a historical novel. Yet the portrait of Nightingale both in her prime and as an aging yet still effective advocate is strong and memorable.”
