<DIV><DIV><B>The national bestseller, now in paperback. <P></P></B>In June of 1860 three-year-old Saville Kent was found at the bottom of an outdoor privy with his throat slit. T he crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land. I nspector Jonathan Whicher's real legacy, however, lives on in fiction: the tough, quirky, all-knowing and all-seeing detective that we know and love today…from the cryptic Sgt. Cuff in Wilkie Collins's <I>The Moonstone </I>to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade. <I>The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher </I>reads like the best of Victorian thrillers, and has been nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize in London.</DIV></DIV>
