IMMORTALISED TO DEATH

Period mystery tantalizingly reimagines Charles Dickens’s death

A thrilling tale of secrets hidden in the literary legend’s half-finished manuscript.

Death strikes England’s foremost novelist, his latest tale only half told. Was he murdered because someone feared a ruinous revelation? Or was it revenge for some past misdeed? Set in the Kent countryside and London slums of 1870, Immortalised to Death embeds an original solution to Charles Dickens’s unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood within the evolving and ultimately tragic consequences of a broader mystery surrounding the great author himself.

"Intriguing and entertaining, this story, written with the feel of Dickens’s own work, creates a plausible ending to the unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood and an explanation for Dickens’s untimely death. An impressive debut."
