London, 1998. Renovators lifting the basement floor of Benjamin Franklin's old townhouse uncover more than 1,200 human bones. That part is true. You can look it up.
In 1750, young William Hewson enters the forbidden world of anatomy after the death of his twin sister. His brilliance attracts the attention of Benjamin Franklin, a celebrated inventor whose public reputation hides a darker obsession: the search for the human soul.
Drawn into Franklin's secret circle of Freemasons and natural philosophers, Hewson becomes both protege and captive. In hidden rooms lit by candlelight, dissection shifts from science to ritual. Franklin insists that only blood can reveal the truth about life itself.
Told across two timelines, from the candlelit basements of Georgian London to the 1998 excavation that dragged the question into daylight, Benjamin Franklin Serial Killer is a lean, fast historical horror that splices the documented record with fiction that reads like a case file.
A short, sharp read for fans of dark history and true crime. Every date, quote, and bone in the premise is real. The dare is checking.
