   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ritaer | Jun 20, 2021 |  When the series opens, Charles Dodgson is in Brighton, awaiting the arrival of the daughter of one of his students, now a reformer in Parliament. Dodgson is middle-aged and already famous for his writings as Lewis Carroll. The child is being sent for a visit to shield her from the demonstrations taking place in London against her father. When she fails to arrive, and the servant accompanying her is found dead, Dodgson very reluctantly accepts the help of a youthful and eager Arthur Conan Doyle, and his new wife Touie. Dodgson originally finds Doyle rather irritating, but he is partially redeemed by Dodgson's respect for his uncle Richard "Dickie" Doyle, and over time, he grows on Dodgson. I particularly enjoyed the changing relationship between the two men. Arthur and Touie are charming a a loving young married couple, and the portrayal of the era is vivid.

A vicious newspaperman is murdered, and every scribe in the office is a suspect It is winter in London, and the coal is running short. The chill on Fleet Street is so severe that the men who run the presses for Youth's Companion are too cold to work. Despite the freeze, their editor--the vile Mr. Bassett--will not spare a shilling for coal. He is behind on paying his employees, has been accused of stealing his writers' ideas, and refuses to hire any up-and-coming literary talent, be it Oscar Wilde or Arthur Conan Doyle. It is no surprise when the editor is found murdered. The question is, which of his enemies got to him first? Doyle enlists Charles Dodgson--better known as Lewis Carroll--to look into the murder. When the police try to pin the killing on the slighted Mr. Wilde, it is up to Doyle and Dodgson to clear Wilde's name and find the true killer of the cruelest man on Fleet Street.
