The Aftermath Club

New York City, 1913-One year after the Titanic vanished beneath the Atlantic, its survivors are drowning in guilt, lies, and a conspiracy that could sink empires.

Six strangers bound by the icy grip of the disaster form a clandestine pact: The Aftermath Club. Their goal? To bury the sins they committed to survive. But when a blackmailer threatens to expose their secrets, they realize the shipwreck was only the beginning of the nightmare.

• Charles Winthrop, a disgraced millionaire who bribed his way into a lifeboat-and left a dying man to drown in his place.

• Lydia Kov塶s, a Hungarian refugee who escaped an arranged marriage by stealing a dead woman's identity.

• Tommy McGarry, the guilt-ridden crewman who locked the third-class gates-and failed to save the child who haunts him.

• Rosalind Palmer, a con artist widow whose "deceased" husband is alive, armed, and determined to ruin her.

• Daniel, an orphaned boy who draws the sinking with eerie precision-and whose mother was murdered at the ship's locked gates.

• Eleanor Vane, a fraudulent medium who sold fake tickets to doomed passengers.

As the blackmailer's threats escalate, the club uncovers a truth more chilling than the Atlantic's depths: the Titanic's sinking was no accident. Sabotaged steel, bribed inspectors, and a millionaire's greed doomed the ship long before it struck ice. Now, hunted by a vengeful crewman, a corrupt elite, and the ghosts of 1,500 lost souls, the survivors must confront their darkest choices-or become casualties of a cover-up that stretches from New York's opulent penthouses to the ship's rusting grave.

Perfect for fans of The Alienist and The Essex Serpent, The Aftermath Club is a spellbinding blend of historical suspense and psychological noir. With twists as sharp as an iceberg's edge and characters as morally complex as the secrets they keep, this gripping thriller asks:

Did an iceberg sink the Titanic, or was it the survivors themselves?
