Charles Dickens
A gripping tale of mystery and suspense, involving murder, forgery, and insurance fraud, from the pen of one of the greatest of all 19th-century English novelists, Charles Dickens (1812-1870). A retired insurance agent relates an episode from his career, a "romance of the real world", in which a cunning criminal is exposed and "hunted down" to face justice.
Hunted Down appeared in Dickens's own periodical All the Year Round, in two installments, in August 1860. The story was apparently inspired by the real-life case of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, artist, author, and alleged serial killer; Dickens had visited Wainewright in Newgate prison in 1837. It also finds echoes in the story of Dr. William Palmer, "The Rugely Poisoner", another mid-Victorian sensation. The oily and obsequious Julius Slinkton is a memorable addition to Dickens' roster of literary villains.
