Bennett Cooper Sullivan, gentleman adventurer and rakish raconteur, returns with another thrilling tale of derring-do (and don’ts), cheating death countless times, and damn near losing a cufflink in the process.
Hearts will flutter. Monocles will plummet. Corsets may become strained. Combining the finest elements of a Sherlock Holmes novel, an Oscar Wilde soirée, and the best night between the sheets you’ve ever had, The Cadaver Palaver is a ripping yarn, sumptuously told by a master storyteller.
With a death-count that makes the Crimean War look like picnic, this latest instalment in the Bennett Cooper Sullivan series is a deliciously macabre mystery from the overactive imagination of C.S. Carroll
