The Bronze Hand by Anna Katharine Green ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Bronze Hand by Anna Katharine Green audiobook. Genre: mystery In anxious pre-Civil War Baltimore, young Abbott has time on his hands and an obsession he cannot explain: the striking, secretive woman who lodges in the room below his. When a thief snatches a ring from her hand as she closes her shutters, she turns to Abbott instead of the police, insisting the stolen trinket is far more dangerous than it looks. Her name is Miss Calhoun, and she binds him to silence before sending him into a shabby office building to keep watch over a locked box in Dr. Merriam's rooms. Inside lies the novel's unsettling emblem: a bronze hand displayed on a cushion, its fingers meant to bear rings of a peculiar make. If a certain ring is placed on a certain finger, Miss Calhoun fears an irreversible verdict will be set in motion. As Abbott navigates suspicious onlookers, cryptic warnings, and a shadowy network that seems to punish betrayal with death, his gallant impulse hardens into a moral test: how far can he go to help a woman in peril without becoming an instrument of the very evil he is trying to stop? citeturn2view0turn3view1 For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 1 (00:18:47) Chapter 2 (00:37:17) Chapter 3 (01:02:12) Chapter 4 (01:17:35) Chapter 5 (01:23:45) Chapter 6 Learn more about your ad choices.
