Bravo, Mr. Finch, and keep them coming! More Lenox, please. --Louise
Penny, bestselling author of A Better Man
From bestselling author Charles Finch comes the third and final in a
prequel trilogy to his lauded Charles Lenox series.
London, 1855. A young and eager Charles Lenox faces his toughest case
yet: a murder without a single clue. Slumped in a third-class car at
Paddington Station is the body of a handsome young gentleman. He has no
luggage, empty pockets, and no sign of identification on his person. And
putting together the clues to the mystery of the man's identity only
raises more questions, when Lenox discovers that the crime has a
significant connection to America.
As he seeks to solve this impossible case, the young Lenox must confront
an equally troublesome problem in his personal life. Kitty Ashbrook,
beautiful and cultured, appears to be his soulmate--but love comes with
obstacles of its own. In tandem, this fiendish early case and
passionate, deeply felt affair will irrevocably shape the brilliant
detective and thoughtful gentleman Lenox is destined to become.
Written in Charles Finch's unmistakably witty and graceful voice, The
Last Passenger is a cunning, thrilling, and deeply satisfying
conclusion to this trilogy of prequels to his bestselling Charles Lenox
series.
