English Summary/英文概要： To‘walk in Pimlico’ colloq. to be handsomely dressed Murray’s Dictionary of Slang, Cant and Flash Words and Phrases (1857, 3rd ed.).
Stumbling across Bessie Spooner’s murdered body, comedian Corney Sage is caught in a tangle of deception and lies. He flees from his concert-room job in London’s Whitechapel to a comfortable spa town, and then to a circus and music hall. But try as he might, he cannot elude the killer. And in Corney’s world of theatricals, clowns and showmen, where appearances are surface deep and secrets are deadly, any one of them might be the murderer . . .
From the drawing rooms of polite society to dingy lodging houses, through shabby pump-room pavilions, fairgrounds and freak shows, Ann Featherstone brilliantly reconstructs nineteenth-century England in this gripping psychological thriller.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 喜剧演员考妮•萨基（Corney Sage ）绊过贝西•斯普纳（Bessie Spooner）尸体的时候被当场抓包，还谎话连篇。他从大都市逃到小镇，还去了马戏团和音乐厅。可是无论他怎么躲，还是逃不出凶手的手掌心。考妮的世界是戏剧的世界，到处是小丑和表演的人，光从外表根本判别不出内心可能隐藏的秘密，他们中的任何一个人都有可能是凶手。这可如何是好？

作者巧妙地在这部小说中为我们重构了19世纪的英国原貌。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
