THE FRAUD is a page-turning historical novel fact-based on the celebrated 19th century trial to establish the inheritor of one of England's largest estates. Real life characters include a once famous novelist who has seen better days and the country's most successful writer, Charles Dickens. There's a possibility a lower class butcher might be the rightful heir. The shrewd and mesmerizing story winds around who is telling the truth and who is the fraud.
