A list of unthinkable fears. Kramer K. D.

New York, 1900s. The life of a ten -year -old Essi O'Neill overnight turns upside down: a few years after the death of her dad, my mother gets married again. And not only did Essy's stepfather Essi, and therefore a stranger, also works as the chief physician of the quarantine hospital. There are inconspicuously sick patients to isolate from society. Tuberculosis, smallpox, typhoid typhoid, cholera - from the names of diseases only throws into the names of the disease, and Essy will have to live next to the hospital and every day to be at risk of getting sick and dying. As if there are few other fears that she brings to her list in order to be less afraid!

I find myself in a new house, a huge and gloomy mansion, Essi learns that nurses have disappeared from the hospital and the police are investigating. Is it not involved in its closed and laconic stepfather in these mysterious disappearance? Essy starts his own investigation, but in order to get to the bottom of the truth, she will have to remember the painful past and look in the face of her fears.
