Book Synopsis
Howard Hinton and his family are living in Japan, escaping from a scandal. Hinton's obsessions are his work - speculative voyages into the fourth dimension of space - and his wife and sons, each of whom yearns to find escape from entanglement in the strange and unknown landscapes of Hinton's science fictions. A ravishing period piece of late-Victorian social, scientific and domestic life, Hinton is about extraordinary discoveries, and terrible choices. It is about those who discover and map other realms, and the implications for those of us left behind.

Trade Review
'A brilliant resurrectionist raid on the past as it should have unfolded. Mark Blacklock breathes new life into the tropes of detective fiction, occult mathematics and forensic science. He makes new mysteries out of reforgotten enigmas' - Iain Sinclair
