Description

In bustling London of 1860, Doctor Wybrow enjoys the pinnacle of a successful medical career, his days filled with consultations and house calls. One afternoon a mysterious foreign woman forces her way into his consulting room, her pallid complexion and dark, glittering eyes arresting his attention. Intrigued by her urgent plea for help, he finds his professional curiosity awakened by a case that promises something beyond ordinary ailments.

The encounter drags the physician far from the familiar streets of England to a strange, fog‑laden hotel on the canals of modern Venice, where whispers of restless spirits and hidden histories linger in every corridor. As he navigates the eerie atmosphere, Wybrow must untangle a web of secrets that bind the hotel’s past to the present, all while confronting his own doubts about science and superstition. Listeners will be drawn into a Victorian‑styled mystery that balances keen observation with a haunting, almost lyrical sense of place.
