London, 1850. Sixteen-year-old Elenor Grey is forced into marriage with the wealthy and charming Charles Whitmore after her father's sudden death leaves her orphaned and in debt. But behind closed doors, Charles is a monster-controlling, violent, and hiding a deadly secret. When Elenor discovers a locked room containing evidence that Charles has murdered his previous wives, she realizes she has only one choice: escape, or become his next victim. Her desperate flight leads her to Simon Tanner, a private investigator with his own tragic past and a dangerous mission. Simon has been tracking Charles as part of a wider conspiracy-a network of wealthy men who marry vulnerable women, steal their inheritances, and dispose of them without consequence. Charles is just one piece of a much larger, more sinister puzzle. As Elenor transforms from terrified victim to fierce investigator, she and Simon must navigate a world where the law protects murderers and powerful men operate with impunity. But bringing Charles to justice is only the beginning. The conspiracy reaches into the highest levels of society, and exposing it will require Elenor to confront her deepest fears-and risk everything she's fought to survive. A gripping historical thriller about one woman's journey from victim to avenger, **The Long Road North** explores the price of justice, the power of resilience, and what happens when the caged bird learns not just to fly-but to hunt. *Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters, Laura Purcell, and anyone who believes some monsters deserve to be stopped.*
