Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. First Edition. First edition, stated first printing. Hard cover binding, 390 pp. The author of the evocative Native American history And the Earth Shall Weep debuts in fiction with this recreation of the Victorian suspense novel, resurrecting characters from Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White -- Walter Hartright and Marian Halcombe -- and sending them on another dramatic and dangerous investigation. Walter is commissioned to write a biography of the great English painter J.M.W. Turner, the creator of haunting romantic landscapes. But he soon finds Turner is a disturbingly elusive figure -- shy, secretive, and the subject of startling rumors and counter-rumors -- and discovers a "dark clue" hidden deep within Turner's brilliant paintings. Obsessed with reconstructing a life that is shrouded in mystery, Walter seeks help from a Dickensian assemblage, including haughty aristocrats, desperate and even criminal characters, and the visionary John Ruskin -- but it is his steadfast and capable sister-in-law Marian who helps him keep his course. Walter uncovers evidence of unspeakable depravity, but can the truth behind Turner's myth be freed from a rapidly expanding web of conspiracy? Author's second book, first novel. New in new dustjacket. Nº de ref. del artículo: 008412
