A “literary” mystery involving Wordsworth, Fletcher Christian, a London council block and England’s lake district. Could “Pirate Peat” the body found in a lake district bog be tht of famed mutineer Fletcher Christian who reportedly dies on Pitcairn Island? Did he dictate his memoirs to boyhood friend William Wordsworth to become the subject matter of an unpublished epic? Wordsworth scholar Jane Gresham returns home to Fellhead to follow up on two letters she found alluding to this manuscript. As she traces members of a family with ties to the poet, the family elders start dying. An engaging premise, and enjoyable page turner.
