Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Pelham — Volume 07" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is part of a novel published in 1828. This silver fork novel follows the adventures of Henry Pelham, a young dandy, through Paris, London, and Cheltenham's fashionable society. While light-hearted initially, the story transforms into a murder mystery with Gothic overtones. When Pelham's old friend faces execution for murder, Pelham must find the true killer. This pioneering work helped establish the detective novel genre and inspired Edgar Allan Poe.
