"Boston, 1870. When news of Charles Dickens<U+2019>s 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 Dickens<U+2019>s unfinished novel. But when Daniel<U+2019>s 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 Daniel<U+2019>s killer. Danger and intrigue abound on the journey to England, for which Osgood has chosen Rebecca Sand, Daniel<U+2019>s older sister, to assist him. As they attempt to uncover Dickens<U+2019>s 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 Dickens<U+2019>s inner circle. They soon realize that understanding Dickens<U+2019>s lost ending is a matter of life and death, and the hidden key to stopping a murderous mastermind."--Publisher.
