Dr Paull's Theory

Hugh Paull is months away from earning his stripes as a qualified London doctor when a routine patient encounter throws his carefully ordered life into chaos. A dying man's final words bind Hugh to a mysterious family with secrets that refuse to stay buried, and suddenly the dissecting room and hospital wards feel like mere prelude to something far stranger. As he navigates the glittering dangers of Edwardian society, Hugh discovers that diagnosing illness is far simpler than diagnosing the human heart, and that some theories about fate are best left untested. The question is not whether he will survive what awaits him, but whether he will recognize himself in the aftermath. A lush Victorian tale of medicine, mystery, and the territories between love and obsession, where a young doctor discovers that the most dangerous diseases are often the ones without physical symptoms.
