Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Pelham — Volume 05" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is part of a novel published in 1828. Following the adventures of Henry Pelham, a young dandy through fashionable society in Paris, London, and Cheltenham, this silver fork novel shifts dramatically from light-hearted social satire into a murder mystery with Gothic overtones. When an old friend faces execution for murder, Pelham must find the true killer in a story that foreshadowed the detective novel genre and influenced Edgar Allan Poe.
