Annelie Wendeberg

The illustrated prequel of the award-winning Anna Kronberg Mysteries.

Anna Kronberg lives in Victorian London’s worst rookery, offering medical treatment to prostitutes, vagrants, and criminals. To her, plugging holes and mopping up blood is normal. Stitching the slashed face of a young prostitute is not. Witnesses refuse to talk. The police can’t be bothered with yet another injured whore. But whispers are spreading about a man who pays well for a few harmless knife marks. No one dares reveal the man’s identity. Only Garret O’Hare - a thief Anna barely knows - reluctantly agrees to help her investigate the assault. But when the injured girl disappears, a veil of silence descends upon the slum. And Anna learns that she is no longer the hunter, but the hunted.

Warning: medical procedures, poverty, and prostitution are depicted without apology.

Anna Kronberg & Sherlock Holmes Mysteries

The Lion’s Courtship: A Dark Victorian Crime Novel

Wendeberg Annelie

Illustrated edition of book 1 in the award-winning Anna Kronberg series.

A series of systematic murders. A killer the police don't seem to see. A brilliant woman with dark secrets.

When a corpse surfaces in the city's waterworks, the Metropolitan Police fear a cholera outbreak. They summon bacteriologist Dr. Anton Kronberg, who spots something far more sinister hinting at the victim's excruciating end.

The police lose interest when evidence of foul play seems too weak and far-fetched. To catch the killer, Kronberg is forced into an alliance with Sherlock Holmes. Their suspicions deepen when a second victim is found, and both stumble into a world of abduction, abuse, and systematic murder.

But this isn't Kronberg's biggest problem. Catching a killer and staying alive would be much less challenging if the doctor didn’t have dark secrets of … her own.

If you love dark historical mysteries and psychological thrillers with an unforgettable female lead, witty dialogue, spine-chilling twists, and Sherlock Holmes joining a chase that will keep you guessing to the final page, this British murder mystery series is your next must-read.
