The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Oxford English Dictionary
Author(s): Simon Winchester
"A wonderful story... It has all the ingredients of one of Patrick McGrath's icily stylish novels: madness, violence, arcane obsessions, weird learning, ghastly comedy" - John Banville, Literary Review. Two distinguished-looking Victorians, both learned and serious, yet from very different worlds: one a brilliant polymath, the other a madman and murderer.
