Über diesen Titel
Long before the modern detective novel took shape, Charles Dickens was already probing the darker corners of human motive, deception, and moral decay.
Hunted Down: The Detective Stories of Charles Dickens gathers Dickens’s most incisive explorations of crime and character, led by the haunting tale of Mr. Julius Slinkton—a man whose impeccable manners and professional respectability conceal a chilling capacity for manipulation. Told through the wary observations of Mr. Sampson, a life assurance manager guided by instinct as much as evidence, the story unfolds as a tense psychological pursuit where suspicion grows quietly and certainty arrives too late.
These narratives are not driven by brute force or sensational violence, but by careful observation, social insight, and the slow tightening of moral consequence. Dickens exposes how ambition, vanity, and greed can thrive behind polished façades, revealing criminals who hide not in shadows, but in plain sight.
Narrated with measured authority by John Riddle, this collection offers a gripping portrait of Victorian society at its most unsettling—where justice is pursued through patience and perception, and where the greatest dangers wear the mask of civility.
