A stunning detective story from the winner of the World Illustration Award**OBSERVER GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE MONTH Pick for March**'Could not be more rich or more beautiful if it tried' OBSERVERIn this stunning reimagining of a nineteenth-century Russian crime thriller from the world of Dostoevsky, Carol Adlam presents Charlie Fox, stunt journalist, magician, liar and thief, who reluctantly returns to her hometown of Nowheregrad to investigate the murder of Elena Ruslanova, daughter of a fabulously wealthy glass manufacturer. In Nowheregrad Charlie finds herself caught up in a multi-layered story that is told through the richly varied visual devices of the time.

With the unwitting assistance of her lover, Netochka, Charlie unravels the mystery of the Bobrov family, only to face the truth about herself. Exquisitely drawn and compellingly told, Adlam's complex, elegant narrative brings to life the lost legacies of early crime fiction and the first women journalists and detectives.
