Flamboyant Matthew Cannonbridge was touched by genius, the most
influential mind of the 19th century, a novelist, playwright, the
poet of his generation. The only problem is, he should never have
existed, and recently divorced 21st century don Toby Judd is the
only person to realise something is wrong with history.
Cannonbridge was everywhere: he was by Lake Geneva when talk
between Byron, Shelley and Mary Godwin turned to the supernatural;
he was friend to the young Dickens as he laboured in the blacking
factory; he was the only man of note to visit Wilde in prison. His
extraordinary life spanned a century. But as the world prepares to
toast the bicentenary of Cannonbridge's most celebrated work,
Judd's discovery leads him on a breakneck chase across the English
canon and countryside, to the realisation that the spectre of
Matthew Cannonbridge, planted so seamlessly into the heart of the
19th century, might not be so dead and buried after all...
