"Pelham — Volume 02" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a novel published in 1828. Following the fashionable adventures of young dandy Henry Pelham through Paris, London, and Cheltenham, this silver fork novel begins as a light-hearted social satire filled with thinly-veiled portraits of high society figures. Yet the story transforms dramatically in its later stages into a Gothic murder mystery, as Pelham must race to find the true killer before his old friend faces execution for a crime he didn't commit.
