The Dead Alive

Beschreibung

The Dead Alive (also published as John Jago's Ghost) is based on the real-life 1819 Boorn Brothers case, where two men were wrongfully convicted of murder in Vermont. The story revolves around the disappearance of John Jago and the subsequent wrongful accusation of the Meadowcroft brothers. As tensions build within the Meadowcroft family, the narrative explores themes of justice, betrayal, and the failures of the legal system, ultimately questioning how truth can be obscured by false evidence and confessions.

Autor

Wilkie Collins (8 January 1824 - 23 September 1889) was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
