Synopsis
One of the shining stars of historical crime fiction returns with this eagerly anticipated addition to the series that Booklist hails as âÈêpitch-perfectâÈë and the Toronto Globe and Mail calls âÈêa lot of fun.âÈë In Oscar Wilde and the Dead ManâÈçs Smile, the famous playwright and raconteur leaves England for a lecture tour in the United States, where he meets P.T. Barnum, sees Jumbo the Elephant, becomes involved in a saloon shoot out, and entertains BroadwayâÈçs brightest stars. But soon Wilde becomes entangled with the LaGrange acting dynasty, whom he befriends aboard an ocean liner. Things are not what they seem with this family, and OscarâÈçs shrewd curiosity may get the better of him as he investigates their hardships. Once the troupe arrives in Paris to perform Hamlet, the tragedies mount. As Oscar digs deeper into these seemingly random events, he will discover a horrifying secretâÈöone which may bring him closer to his own last chapter than he could ever imagine. Gyles Brandreth has crafted another enchanting entertainment that is as intelligent as it is beguiling.
