Reseña del libro "The Wretched (en Inglés)"

The Wretched is a gripping Victorian crime thriller that opens on the undulating moors of Dartmoor in 1885, with the escape of convict John Fitzpatrick from Dartmoor Prison. His escape has been aided by Irish Fenians - a group dedicated to bringing about an independent Ireland. But what is their motive? Fitzpatrick himself certainly doesn't know the answer. In pursuit of Fitzpatrick is Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Raymond Briggs. The inspector though is a broken man, wracked by a choking melancholia and worse. He needs to solve this case to validate himself and reclaim his reputation, not just for himself but to silence those at Scotland Yard who mock and regard him as washed up. As his aide, Briggs enlists trusted ally, Isidore Runce-newly appointed to Scotland Yard's Records Department. Isidore is fearless, sharp, and unconventional, qualities Briggs desperately needs. But Isidore too has her own issues... From the wilds of Dartmoor to the backstreets of Bristol and on to the polluted air of London, Briggs and Runce pursue Fitzpatrick through a web of Fenian plots, police corruption, and buried personal trauma-heading toward a reckoning neither anticipated. With richly drawn, complex characters and a plot steeped in tension, The Wretched is not only a page-turning thriller-it is a powerful exploration of fate, justice, and the human cost of cruelty. A dark tale of obsession, betrayal, and the weight of the past. Yet, amid the bleakness, there are flickers of warmth: wit, friendship, and the stubborn hope that even the wretched might find redemption.
