Produktbeschreibung

There was a Victorian / Edwardian fascination with evil geniuses. Professor Moriarty, Fu Manchu, Count Fosco, Dracula, Dr. Nicola - they and many others were hiding in the shadows, using their magnetism to persuade others to their will and their significant mental gifts for evil purposes. This is an exciting story for those who like the somewhat predictable traditions of late Victorian history.
