About this book

A rare detective story by one of the greatest writers in the English language

A mysterious man named Julius Slinkton enters the life of Mr. Sampson, the manager of a life assurance office. Remarkably well-spoken and with insinuating manners, Slinkton initially seems to be the consummate gentleman. But as Sampson soon learns, appearances can be deceiving.

Written in the uncanny style of his close friend Wilkie Collins, this detective story is an unusual gem in Charles Dickens's body of work.

Quotes by Charles Dickens

From Wikiquote

Mr. Augustus Minns was a bachelor, of about forty as he said — of about eight-and-forty as his friends said. He was always exceedingly clean, precise, and tidy: perhaps somewhat priggish, and the most retiring man in the world.
If any one were to ask me what in my opinion was the dullest and most stupid spot on the face of the Earth, I should decidedly say Chelmsford.
To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.
