L'hôtel hanté

In the summer of 1860, London’s most celebrated physician, Dr. Wybrow, is juggling a packed schedule of appointments when an enigmatic stranger barges into his consulting room. She refuses to leave, insisting that a matter of utmost importance cannot wait until tomorrow. Intrigued yet irritated, the doctor tries to send her away, but her pale, almost luminous complexion and striking black eyes hold him in place.

Her foreign accent and flawless dark attire suggest a background far beyond ordinary patients, prompting Wybrow to view her as a possible subject for study rather than a mere inconvenience. As the sun streams through the window, casting an eerie glow on her face, the doctor feels his pulse quicken—an unusual reaction for a man accustomed to comforting the sick. He asks the only question that matters, opening a dialogue that promises to unravel a mystery that could challenge both his medical expertise and his composure.
