Produktbeschreibung

This epic novel begins with a mysterious girl taking a journey by train and a loving mother making a Faustian bargain with a gallant but nefarious figure. Author Richard Dowling spins an intricate mystery from a number of seemingly disparate elements: family dysfunction, clashes between social classes in nineteenth-century England, and a far-fetched scheme to create gold from a specific combination of less valuable elements and materials. Somehow, Dowling manages to pull it off, weaving a satisfying tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Autorenporträt

Richard Dowling was an Irish novelist born on June 3, 1846, in southern Ireland. He became known for his contributions to both Irish and English literature, particularly in the genres of detective, crime, and mystery. Dowling was part of a group of Irish writers who created a publication called Zolius. After moving to England, he wrote short stories for London Illustrated News, which led to the success of his first novel, The Mystery of Killard. His writing often drew on locations he was familiar with, and many of his stories focused on themes of crime and mystery. Dowling lived in Clapham, West London, with his wife and three children, Margret, Sarah, and David. Despite his relatively short life, he was gaining recognition as a popular writer by the time of his death at 52 on July 28, 1898. After his passing, his works continued to be published for several years. Copies of his books are preserved in the National Library in London and are available online after being digitized.
