The Fallen Architect by Charles Belfoure
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Architect!
Charles Belfoure's next novel is a puzzling historical thriller about a man who must dig through the rubble of his past to construct a future worth living, grounded by Belfoure's experiences as a professional architect.
A Gripping Victorian Mystery of Innocence and Redemption
Someone has to take the blame when the Britannia Theatre's balcony collapses. Over a dozen people are killed, and the fingers all point at the architect. The man should have known better, should have made it safer, should have done something.
Douglas Layton knows the flaw wasn't in his design, but he can't fight a guilty verdict. When the architect is finally released from prison, he has no job, no family, nowhere to go. He needs to assume a new identity and rebuild his life.
But the disgraced man soon finds himself digging up the past in a way he never anticipated. If the collapse wasn't an accident ... who caused it? And why? And what if they find out who he used to be?
A Historical Thriller Rooted in Architectural Authenticity
A chilling novel of architecture, intrigue, and identity, this historical thriller uncovers one man's quest to clear his name and correct the mistake that ruined his life.
Written by a professional architect with decades of experience, this standalone novel combines authentic architectural detail with Victorian-era suspense. Belfoure brings his expertise in historic preservation to create a richly detailed world where professional disgrace meets criminal conspiracy.
"A twisted mystery...Belfoure gets better and better"--Karen Bakshoian, Letterpress Books (Portland, ME)
