Description
"No Thoroughfare" by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins is a stage play and novel both released in December 1867. Two boys from a foundling hospital are mistakenly given the same name, leading to devastating consequences in adulthood. After one's death, executors must find the rightful heir, embarking on a dangerous journey from London wine cellars across the winter Alps to the Mediterranean. Treachery and peril threaten at every turn, until a courageous heroine and loyal servant intervene in this tale of mystery and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
