When he wakes up, he sees a strange and bloodied woman climbing through his window, suffering from amnesia.

With suspicion mounting against the mysterious woman, Ferguson sets out to uncover her true identity and find the vicious killer in the process.Originally serialized in the Manchester Weekly Times and Salford Weekly News in twelve installments, The Goddess is another vivid example of Richard Marsh's gripping Gothic style, combining elements of crime, romance, and the supernatural while commenting explicitly on many issues of its time, including imperialism, the fin de siècle, and the New Woman. - Summary by Tomas PeterCopyright Crime and Mystery Genre アート 文学史・文学批評 生物科学 科学
