Lost House

by Richard Harding Davis

Lost House revolves around Austin Ford, a journalist stationed in London, who stumbles upon a cryptic note in a dark alley. The note pleads for help from a young girl imprisoned in a mental institution by her uncle. Intrigued by the message, Austin embarks on a perilous investigation, navigating the shadowy underbelly of London society and facing dangerous encounters. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a web of secrets and conspiracies, leading him to question the truth behind the asylum's walls and the motives of the girl's captor. With the help of an unlikely ally, Austin races against time to rescue the captive girl and bring her tormentor to justice.
