Product Information
"Intellectually stimulating and viscerally exciting, The Darwin Affair is breathtaking from start to stop." -- The Wall Street Journal Get ready for one of the most inventive and entertaining novels of 2019--an edge-of-your-seat Victorian-era thriller, where the controversial publication On the Origin of Species sets off a string of unspeakable crimes. London, June 1860: When an assassination attempt is made on Queen Victoria, and a petty thief is gruesomely murdered moments later--and only a block away--Chief Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that these crimes are connected to an even more sinister plot. Was Victoria really the assassin's target? Are those closest to the Crown hiding something? And who is the shadowy figure witnesses describe as having lifeless, coal-black eyes?Soon, Field's investigation exposes a shocking conspiracy in which the publication of Charles Darwin's controversial On the Origin of Species sets off a string of murders, arson, kidnapping, and the pursuit of a madman named the Chorister. As the investigation takes Field from the dangerous alleyways of London to the hallowed halls of Oxford, the list of possible conspirators grows, and the body count escalates. And as he edges closer to the Chorister, he uncovers dark secrets that were meant to remain forever hidden. Tim Mason has created a rousing page-turner that both Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would relish and envy.

Reviews
"London in 1860 is the principal setting of Tim Mason''s The Darwin Affair , which evokes the pleasures of such period authors as Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens. [A] memorable page-turner. Intellectually stimulating and viscerally exciting, The Darwin Affair is breathtaking from start to stop." -- The Wall Street Journal "A perfect addition to your summer reading list. Fast-paced and lively, this page-turner would appeal to fans of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." -- Reader''s Digest "An audacious historical thriller . . . The intelligent plot features prominent figures of the time, including Karl Marx . . . and Charles Darwin, whose heretical theory of evolution has unsettled some very powerful men. Wry prose and vivid period detail help make Mason''s speculations feel plausible." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Readers of historical fiction, murder mysteries, action/adventure and thrillers will be equally entertained and perhaps edified: beneath the excitement lie thought-provoking questions about class and order, the interplay of science and religion and intellectual curiosity. The Darwin Affair has it all: thrills, engrossing characters, taut pacing and historical interest." -- Shelf Awareness "Mason''s Dickensian London, layered with gritty, horror-tinged period details and the imaginative interweaving of Typhoid Mary and the underworld''s grave-robbing industry, provides a rare time-traveling experience for historical-mystery readers. The novel shares the edgy appeal of Caleb Carr''s The Alienist and Louis Bayard''s Mr. Timothy ." -- Booklist , starred review "While readers cheer for Inspector Field, a true-life detective and friend of Charles Dickens, they will inadvertently learn a smattering of history--and enjoy every second of it. Author Tim Mason makes it fun. He writes with authenticity and knows precisely how to keep his audience on the edge of their seats. Oh, and just when you believe he''s about to wrap it up, get comfortable, because he has a whole lot more action in store." --Bookreporter.com "With many grisly murders and many shocking surprises along the way, the book rockets toward a last dark twist. Careful research, a driving plot, wry wit, and compelling characters make this a most entertaining read." -- Kirkus Reviews "Set in Victorian era London, Tim Mason''s The Darwin Affair is a fantastic and original historical thriller. In fact, this is one of the best thrillers I''ve read in years." -- The Missourian " The Darwin Affair by Tim Mason . . . set in Victorian England of the 1860s . . . grabs the reader and tosses him or her into the middle of an assassination attempt of the Royals--Queen Victoria and Prince Albert . . . [T]he plot unfolds in an exciting dash to save Prince Albert, and bring Decimus Cobb . . . easily the most frightening antagonist since Hannibal Lecter . . . to justice." -- New York Journal of Books "This clever, yeasty detective yarn is like a runaway hansom cab that pauses just long enough to take on passengers ranging from Darwin to Dickens before hurtling onward. It''s a grand ride, a serious education and a delightful addiction." --Louis Bayard, author of Courting Mr. Lincoln "An engaging historic mystery." --BBC.com "It''s London 1860, and an assassination attempt has been made on Queen Victoria. A block away, a petty thief is killed. But Detective Inspector Charles Field suspects these crimes are related, that the queen wasn''t the real target--and that all of it masks an even more ominous plot." -- NY Post "Push aside the spreadsheets, close your Google Docs, and dive into Tim Mason''s The Darwin Affair . Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Mason''s novel gives you the chance to do a little sleuthing. Riding alongside the main character will give you insight into myriad ways to solve even complex mysteries." -- Forbes.com, "The Best Historical Novels for Summer 2019", "London in 1860 is the principal setting of Tim Mason's The Darwin Affair , which evokes the pleasures of such period authors as Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens.
