Hugh Kellem, an anthropologist just back from the Galápagos, becomes obsessed with a mystery: why Darwin took twenty-two years to publish his theory of evolution. The diary of Lizzie, the naturalist's youngest daughter, reveals the guilt and fear that dominated him and raises questions about his illness, his fear of travel, and a possible rival.

For readers of historical and mystery fiction set in Victorian England, with an interest in Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution.
