Summary:Out of the London fog, a mysterious stranger arrives on the Buntings' doorstep seeking lodgings and a kindly ear - but a horrifying secret lurks behind his gentlemanly façade. Can Mrs Bunting uncover the true nature of his strange obsessions and avert looming disaster for her family? Marie Belloc Lowndes's psychological thriller The Lodger (1913) was the first novelization of the infamous and still-unsolved "Jack the Ripper" murders of 1888. The novel transformed a sordid story of the London streets into a taut domestic tale of conflicted motivations, uncertain loyalty, and slow-burning terror.
