'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. Readers are loving The Man in Black: 'An
intelligent and gripping post-modern crime novel. Beautifully
written and cleverly plotted.' Lancashire Post 'You'll be
guaranteed to enjoy.' Guardian 'This is a wonderful mystery... It
has a dark Victorian tone, and is a gripping story. If you like
literary historical mysteries, this is for you.' Reader Review '
