The Eyre Affair
In an alternate version of 1980s Britain where literature is taken so seriously that thousands of men are named John Milton and there are gang fights between the Impressionists and the Surrealists, villain Acheron Hades steals an original manuscript of a book and finds a way inside… killing a minor character and altering every subsequent copy of that book forever. He threatens to do the same to Jane Eyre unless his demands are met. Can literary detective Thursday Next stop him before it’s too late?
