Albert Jarvis is an unusually bright boy-- a tragic temperament for the jailor's son in a gritty 1840s town at the edge of the American frontier. Desperate to belong, he fails repeatedly to prove himself worth his salt, until a captivating stranger offers an enchanting vision-- a world where the path to heroism lies in words. The place is New Yrok City. The stranger: Edward Rulloff, an accomplished physician, lawyer, professor, inventor, linguist fluent in 27 languages-- and serial killer. Soon caught up in an epic test of loyalty and betrayal, Albert must wrestle with the meaning of justice, and decide for himself whether Rulloff is a genius or a madman-- all while trying to survive his thrilling, shameful, and dangerous adventures. Based on the shocking, true story of the Educated Murderer that riveted 19th century America and England, drove editorials by Mark Twain, and may have inspired Sherlock Holmes' most notorious nemesis, The Prisoner's apprentice has all the makings of a classic. In a compelling twist on most detective fiction and true crime drama, we learn whodunit at the start. The genuine mystery teased out through this unforgettable psychological thriller is why.
