History records that on June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died of a
cerebral haemorrhage. History, however, is wrong. June 9, 1870, is
the day on which Emile de la Rue murdered Charles Dickens. During a
stay in Genoa in 1844-45, Charles Dickens, an accomplished
mesmerist, used his mesmeric abilities to treat a young
Englishwoman, Augusta de la Rue, attempting to cure a years' long
malady of hers that included facial spasms and phantom-filled
dreams. During her trances she revealed to Dickens a truth she had
long suppressed-the knowledge that her husband murdered a rival so
he could have her for himself. Dickens, at that time, was helpless
to act on the devastating admission, but twenty-five years later
Emile de la Rue shows up in London, and Dickens finally seeks
justice. De La Rue cannot let this happen and stops at nothing to
keep Dickens from revealing his secret.
