Description

'A grisly period detective story.' The Times

London, 1850: The Dickensian streets grow darker by the day.

Private investigator Charles Maddox is surprised when he is approached by Edward Tulkinghorn for help. The feared and shadowy attorney offers Charles a handsome price he can't refuse to do some sleuthing for a client. Charles learns that Sir Julius Cremorne has been receiving threatening letters, and now Tulkinghorn wants him to find and stop whoever is responsible.

But what starts as a simple, open-and-shut case swiftly escalates into something bigger and much darker. As he cascades toward a collision with powerful forces, Charles will need all the assistance he can get

The Man in Black takes a classic Charles Dickens novel and plummets readers into a newly reimagined and mysterious world. Fans of The Confessions of Frannie Langton and Stacey Halls will love this.

Previously published as The Solitary House.

About Lynn Shepherd
Lynn Shepherd writes 'literary mysteries' - in other words, one part literary fiction to one part mystery, each time inspired either by a classic book or classic literary figures. The greats works that drive her books include Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, Charles Dicken's Bleak House, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula. After studying English at university she decided to combine her two greatest literary loves: classic English novels and a good detective fiction, and hasn't put down her pen since.
