The Collector of Lost Things - Jeremy Page

The year is 1845 and young researcher Eliot Saxby is hired to go on an expedition to the Arctic in search of the last Great Auk. He joins a hunting ship, but the crew and the passengers are not what they seem.

Caught in the web of relationships on board, Eliot struggles to understand the motivations of the sociopathic, embroidery-loving Captain Sykes, the unpredictable First Mate French, the flamboyant laudanum-addicted Bletchley and, most importantly of all, Bletchley's beautiful but strange cousin, Clara. As the ship moves further and further into the wilds of the Arctic seas, Eliot clings to what he believes in, desperate to save Clara but drawn irrevocably back into the past that haunts him.
