A London Mystery. The year is 1851, the year of the Great Exhibition. Together with a Welsh police inspector, the successful Swedish authoress Euthanasia Bondeson goes in search of her companion who has disappeared in the narrow streets and alleyways of London. She meets beggars and whores, artists and society beauties, all actors on the modern stage in a drama of dark shadows. With skirts flapping, Euthanasia forges her way through this romp of a crime novel, surveying the streets which Sherlock Holmes himself will not tread until a whole generation later. Euthanasia makes her debut on the crime novel scene. Translated from the Swedish by Sarah Death.
