Mark Frost, creator of Twin Peaks, plunges us into a mysterious Victorian London where a young Arthur Conan Doyle faces a satanic cult known as the Dark Brotherhood. After a seance ends in murder, Doyle teams up with Jack Sparks, a master of disguise and secret agent, to stop the Brotherhood and save the British Empire. Their chase takes them from London’s dark alleys to remote corners of Europe, encountering black magic, secret societies, and figures like Madame Blavatsky and Bram Stoker. The List of Seven is an adventurous novel that pays tribute to Victorian melodramas, with a gripping plot that keeps readers hooked until the last page.
