Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In his most enthralling novel yet, the critically acclaimed author Matthew Pearl reopens one of literary historyâs greatest mysteries. The Last Dickens is a tale filled with the dazzling twists and turns, the unerring period details, and the meticulous research that thrilled readers of the bestsellers The Dante Club and The Poe Shadow.
Boston, 1870. When news of Charles Dickensâs untimely death reaches the office of his struggling American publisher, Fields & Osgood, partner James Osgood sends his trusted clerk Daniel Sand to await the arrival of Dickensâs unfinished novel. But when Danielâs body is discovered by the docks and the manuscript is nowhere to be found, Osgood must embark on a transatlantic quest to unearth the novel that he hopes will save his venerable business and reveal Danielâs killer.
Danger and intrigue abound on the journey to England, for which Osgood has chosen Rebecca Sand, Danielâs older sister, to assist him. As they attempt to uncover Dickensâs final mystery, Osgood and Rebecca find themselves racing the clock through a dangerous web of literary lions and drug dealers, sadistic thugs and blue bloods, and competing members of Dickensâs inner circle. They soon realize that understanding Dickensâs lost ending is a matter of life and death, and the hidden key to stopping a murderous mastermind.
