Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Good fun, gentle humor, historic detail, plenty of twists, and a likable pair of heroes make this a book well worth reading"--Booklist

"This will attract devotees of Ed Gorman's series featuring Civil War-era Secret Service Agent Dev Mallory as well as fans of Michael Kilian's "Harrison Raines" mysteries"--Library Journal

"More successful is Trow's arch and witty tone and a plunge into the delightfully cutthroat publishing scene of Victorian London, where all loudly mourn Dickens while privately saying that the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood definitely wasn't his best."--Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

Nineteenth century private investigators American Matthew Grand and Englishman James Batchelor investigate the murder of Charles Dickens.

June, 1870. The world-famous author Charles Dickens has been found dead in his summerhouse where he had been hard at work on his final, unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Did he die of natural causes – or is there something more sinister behind his sudden demise? George Sala, Dickens’ biographer, is convinced his friend was murdered – and he has hired Grand and Batchelor to prove it.

Could Dickens’ death have something to do with his unconventional private life? Who is the mysterious woman who appears at his funeral?

If they are to uncover the truth, Grand and Batchelor must leave no stone unturned. But are they prepared for the shocking secrets some of those unturned stones will reveal . . .?
