Shepherd - Tom-All-Alone's / LARGE PRINT / grote letter.

By lynn shepherd.

Uitg. Windsor paragon, 2012, grote paperback 387pp in goede staat.

The story of tom-all-alone*s takes place in the *space between* two masterpieces of mid-victorian fiction: bleak house and the woman in white - overlapping with them, and re-imagining them for a contemporary reader, with a modern understanding of the grimmer realities of victorian society. Charles maddox, dismissed from the police force, is working as a private detective and can only hope to follow in his uncle*s formidable footsteps as an eminent thief-taker. On a cold and bright autumn morning, a policeman calls on charles at his lodgings with information that may be related to a case he is working on. He goes to a ruined cemetery to find a shallow grave containing the remains of four babies has been discovered. After examining them he concludes they are not related to his investigation, which is to find a young girl abandoned in a workhouse 16 years before, when her mother died. But all is not as it first appears. As he*s drawn into another case at the behest of the eminent but feared lawyer, edward tulkinghorn, london*s sinister underbelly begins to emerge. From the first gruesome murder, charles has a race against time to establish the root of all evil.
