This is a book begun, but not finished. I could not finish it. Many times I have come close to destroying it, thinking I should have no rest while it remained to reproach me. I could not bring myself to do it. I have therefore given instructions that it should be sealed in a box, which is to remain unopened until I, my wife Laura, our sister Marion Halcombe, and all our children are dead.So begins James Wilsons brilliant imaginative recreation of the Victorian sensation novel as the characters from Wilkie Collinss The Woman in White - Walter Hartright and Marion Halcombe - are involved in another dramatic and dangerous conspiracy. Walter is commissioned to write a biography of the greatest of English painters, JMW Turner, whose life was shrouded in mystery. His researches take him to the dark secret at the centre of Turners work and involve him and Marion in confronting crimes and human degradation that threaten their sanity and their lives.The Dark Clue takes us into Victorian England in all its staggering extremes; of poverty and wealth, of slums and stately homes, of public morality and private vice in an unforgettable tale of suspense.

Walter Hartright y Marian Halcombe, personajes que Wilson toma prestados de ta dama de blanco de Wilkie Collins, aceptan escribir la biografía definitiva del genio William Turner, el gran paisajista inglés. Se entrevistan con miembros de la elite británica, artistas, críticos de arte, amas de Ilaves, grabadores y prostitutas que tuvieron contacto con él, pero ninguno ofrece datos interesantes sobre el pintor. Turner, un tipo escurridizo, excéntrico y tímido fue un hombre celoso de su intimidad y, tras su muerte, objeto de asombrosos rumores. Pero ¿a quién interesa difamar a un genio ya fallecido? Las averiguaciones de Walter y Marian los sumergen en el enigmático y oscuro mundo de Turner, a quien le gustaba indagar en enigmas irresolubles, hasta que dan con la clave oculta de su obra, hallazgo que pone a prueba su cordura y amenaza sus vidas.
