At Midnight In Venice
(2019)(The fifth book in the Charles Dickens Investigations series)
A novel by J C Briggs
It’s a tricky case for Charles Dickens and Superintendent Jones! Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Victorian crime mysteries, A Christmas Carol and David Copperfield…
Two cities, two skeletons, linked by a mysterious vision…
A female skeleton is found in a disused water tank behind a house which has been empty for five years.
Her neck had been broken and found with a jeweled chain around it.
Charles Dickens is reminded of his time in Venice a few years earlier, when he thought he saw a monk with his hands on a girl’s neck, the glimpse of jewels in fleeting torchlight, a cry of fear.
And later he read that a girl was found drowned at the spot where he had his vision.
Are the two corpses connected? And what is the link to Sir Neptune Fane?
Charles Dickens and Superintendent Sam Jones must find the link between the backstreets of London and the mysterious canals of Venice…
