Immortalised to Death (Book 1)
​
A reimagining of Charles Dickens’ death and the secrets hidden in in the legendary author’s half-finished manuscript
​
Death strikes England's foremost novelist, Charles Dickens, his latest tale only half told. Was he murdered because someone feared a ruinous revelation? Or was it revenge for some past
misdeed? Convinced that the identity of Dickens' murderer lies in the book's missing conclusion, Dunston Burnett, Dickens' distant relative and unlikely detective, scours the completed half of
the text for clues to the killer. Set in the Kent countryside and London slums of 1870,
Immortalised to Death reveals the ending to Charles Dickens' unfinished The Mystery of Edwin
Drood and, in doing so, unearths a stunning revelation about the author and his clandestine
double life.
From the Press Release: Debut author, Lyn Squire, kicks off his electrifying Dunston Burnett Trilogy with legendary Victorian novelist Charles Dickens dead at his desk, pen still in hand. The deft plotting will remind readers of Agatha Christie and the evocative prose will have them questioning which parts of the book are fiction and nonfiction. Squire seamlessly reimagines Dickens' untimely death and final unfinished story while tying neatly into a thrilling whodunnit. Is Dunston Burnett, a diffident, middle-aged, retired bookkeeper, able to crack the case of his uncle's murder, or does he only find buried secrets in his brilliant continuation to Dickens' novel?
