Beschreibung
A diabolical tale of retribution cast against the greatest debate of its time.
Darwin's theory of evolution is the fascinating background for this tragic story of seemingly unrelated events.
Award-winning author Lyn Squire has done it again with an extraordinary follow-up to Immortalised to Death. Set in Victorian England amidst the furor triggered by Charles Darwin's revolutionary theory, Fatally Inferior plunges Dunston Burnett, the series' unassuming but sometimes insightful amateur sleuth, into a cauldron churning with secrets and lies. An abduction -- the victim mysteriously vanishing from a locked-tight country house.A birth -- the newborn torn from its mother's arms. These seemingly independent incidents converge in a vile act of vengeance: a hellish torture for the victim; the perfect revenge for the perpetrator. Will Dunston ever be able to expose the heart of this dark, confounding mystery?
