The devil's in the details when a man is found murdered near Trinity Church in the latest installment of the national bestselling Gaslight Mystery series... The year of 1899 is drawing to a close. Frank and Sarah Malloy are getting ready to celebrate the New Year at Trinity Church when they notice Mr. Pritchard, a relative of their neighbor's, behaving oddly and annoying the other revelers. Frank tries to convince Pritchard to return home with them, but the man refuses and Frank loses him in the crowd. The next morning Sarah and Frank are horrified to learn Pritchard was murdered sometime in the night, his body left on Trinity Place, the side street near the church. The police aren't too interested in the murder, and the family are concerned that the circumstances of the death will reflect badly on Pritchard's reputation. To protect the family from scandal, Nelson asks Frank to investigate. Frank and Sarah delve into Pritchard's past and realize there may have been a deadly side to the dawning of the new century.

Het eerste grote avonturenverhaal in de westerse canon, dit gedicht verkent thema's van geweld, de nasleep van oorlog, rijkdom, macht, huwelijk, familie en de verlangen naar huis. Dit frisse, gezaghebbende vertaling revitaliseert het verhaal van schipbreuken, monsters en magie. Geschreven in jambische pentameter en een hedendaagse stijl, weerspiegelt het het aantal regels in het Griekse origineel, en vangt het de levendige snelheid en muzikale kwaliteit van Homerus. De vertaling benadrukt de schoonheid en betovering van het oude gedicht terwijl het de spanning en drama behoudt. Onvergetelijke personages zijn onder andere de sluwe godin Athena, die de held begeleidt; Telemachus, de onhandige tienerzoon die naar volwassenheid streeft en de terugkeer van zijn vader verlangt; en Penelope, de slimme vrouw die haar vrijers afweert tijdens de afwezigheid van haar man. De held zelf komt naar voren als een complexer figuur, met vele vermommingen en stemmingen. Een fascinerende inleiding biedt inzichten in de context van het Bronstijd, de belangrijkste thema's van het gedicht, controverses rond de oorsprong ervan en de diepgaande invloed ervan.
