From the bestselling pen of the original undercover reporter, available for the first time in 125 years, the lost novels Of Nellie Bly!

Pioneering undercover journalist Nellie Bly is rightly famous for exposing society's ills. From brutal insane asylums to corrupt politicians, she used the pages of the New York World to bring down all manner of frauds, cheats, and charlatans. What no one knows is that Nellie Bly was also a novelist. Because, of the twelve novels Bly wrote between 1889 and 1895, eleven have been lost - until now! Newly discovered by author David Blixt (! What Girls Are Good For, The Master Of Verona! ), Nellie Bly's lost works of fiction are available for the first time! These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly!!

Through Fire And Water!

An accidental meeting with a stranger on a street car has Kit Harrington head-over-heels in love. She only has one trouble—she doesn’t know who he is! Now, abandoned by her foster-sister and bereft by the loss of her mother, Kit sets out on a quest to discover the mystery man’s identity and win his love—by whatever means necessary!

What ensues is a series of ever-escalating escapades, as Kit poses as a ghost, a reporter, a fortune-teller, an actress, a train engineer, a messenger boy, a poker player, a maid, and an opium fiend, all to gain access to her beloved Howell Humphrey, millionaire man-about-town. Yet Kit never imagined her rival for Howell’s affections would be her own foster-sister, Vida! Meanwhile Howell’s best friend has in turn fallen for Kit, as much in love with a stranger as Kit herself!

A novel filled with desperate acts, kidnapping, drowning, disease, train derailments, even a hurricane, Kit braves it all, determined to walk through fire and water to win him. All because she is . . . In Love With A Stranger!

Extra feature: includes the New York World articles that inspired her stories!
