Dubbed the \"Victorian Girl\" by the media everywhere, she becomes the eye of a hurricane of publicity and speculation and of a darkness reaching back to the Mingo family's roots in England-and to the builders of the mansion, a Civil War arms dealer and his s├®ance-holding wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoston comic Mark Winslow and the other trustees of Mingo House are divided as to whether the place is sustainable as a museum. Trustee chairman Rudy Schmitz, the brash entrepreneur, seems convinced that the porous roof and escalating rain damage will doom the place. Nadia Gulbenkian, the last of the old-guard trustees, is accusing Rudy of engineering the museum's demise. Software executive Jon Kim and a dubious collector of saints' bones and art are pursuing their own clandestine agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMingo House itself seems cursed for its origins in bullets and cannonballs and for the family's reputed connection to the execution of King Charles I. A number of people believe its walls conceal treasure-a stolen royal monstrance-and are willing to do anything to retrieve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this sequel to\u003cem\u003eThe Fisher Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, pierced college students clash with flawed Brahmin blue bloods, and the Gothic with the high tech. As the deaths and threats multiply, one question resounds: will anyone or anything survive this summer of rain, of deluge-Mingo House or its terrified staff?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49312623526192,"sku":"BD6151","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49312623558960,"sku":"ZE6151","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49312623591728,"sku":"ZM6151","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/6151-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775692437","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-6151","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
