Description
Is this the last and darkest secret of the Shelleys? In the dying days of 1850, young detective Charles Maddox is hired by the only surviving son of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary, author of Frankenstein, to investigate a case of blackmail. But as Charles delves deeper into the Shelleys' past, what appeared at first to be a straightforward job soon reveals itself to be something far more complex, disturbing - and personal . . . In A Treacherous Likeness, the follow-up to her riveting novel Tom-All-Alone's, Lynn Shepherd takes on unanswered questions about two of our most intriguing literary figures - weaving fact and fiction into a passionate story of love and death, loss and betrayal. 'A lingering literary mystery.' Herald 'A story which will keep you turning the pages.' Guardian 'A wonderfully ingenious novel: perceptive, gripping and fascinating in the way it reshapes familiar material to create a story that I found to be marvellously persuasive.' Miranda Seymour, biographer of Mary Shelley ?7.99 [Insert ISBN barcode: 9781780331683] www.constablerobinson.com [Insert Corsair logo] [Insert Jacket Design credits]
