About this listen

A missing child. A deadly trade. A love caught between redemption and ruin.

London, 1889. After surviving Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, Doctor Henry Jekyll and Francine Murphy dream of a peaceful future together. But their fragile hopes are shattered when Francine's estranged husband, Seamus, reappears—begging her to help find his sister's missing baby, stolen from a long-term foster home.

Reluctantly, Jekyll joins Francine in the search, only to discover the dark world of baby farming—where infants are bought, sold, and discarded for profit. As they dig deeper, every clue draws them closer to danger and to each other.

Haunted by guilt and longing, Jekyll must confront the monster within while Francine faces the past she tried to escape. Together, they risk everything to uncover a truth more horrifying than they imagined—and to save a life that could cost them both their hearts.

Blending historical realism with emotional depth, The Foundling House explores love, guilt, and redemption against a backdrop of social injustice and human frailty. Perfect for listeners who crave atmospheric storytelling and the haunting pull of characters who wrestle with both darkness and devotion.
