But now they’re missing-as is, apparently, a treasure map. The mudlarks have gone from a hardscrabble life scavenging the banks of the Thames for bits and bobs to becoming students at a boarding school outside of London, thanks to the kind and generous intercession of Charles Dickens. Harrow-on-the-Hill, March 1836: In a sense, orphans Ollie, John, and Arthur have always been treasure hunters. She is the current president of the Columbia River Chapter of Sisters in Crime (SinC).In Victorian England, aspiring author Charles Dickens is on the case again-in pursuit of missing orphans, legendary treasure, and a cold-blooded killer in the latest installment of Heather Redmond’s charming series that reimagines the famous writer as an amateur sleuth. Her two current mystery series are “A Dickens of a Crime” and “the Journaling mysteries.” She writes for Kensington and Severn House. Her 2018 Heather Redmond debut, A Tale of Two Murders, was a multi-week Barnes & Noble Hardcover Mystery Bestseller. The author of many novels, novellas, and short stories, she has achieved best-seller status at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. She has lived in Illinois, California, and Texas, and now resides in a small town in Washington State with her husband and son.

First published in mystery, she took a long detour through romance before returning.
Heather Redmond is an author of commercial fiction and also writes as Heather Hiestand.
