I MUST KNOW THE TITLE OF THIS NOVEL.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-02 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
My thoughts exactly. That sounds like an interesting read.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-02 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The above was my exact reaction too. Please provide a link or a reference?

Mind you, I can think of a lot of classical/literary novels I read which would fit this description pretty well...

Scarlet Pimpernel was the one that came immediately to mind for me.

Well, Batman always was essentially what happens when you cross Percy Blakeney with Zorro and dump the result in a Depression-era city noir. Depending on how much weight is being put on the 'detective' part, you can also throw in Sherlock Holmes.

A character with a tradition behind him, is Batman.

Don't forget The Shadow!

Same. Tell us, OP!

Not the anon who wrote the secret, but I'm going to guess and say Duke of Midnight by Elizabeth Hoyt.

OP here

You are correct Sir/Madam!
It was the Duke of Midnigth by Elisabeth Hoyt.

Sorry to bust your headcanon, but Batman also isn't that original of a character. The author may just be subject to osmosis like the rest of us.

It is possible but there were too many coicidences.*Spoilers for the book*

The hero's parents died after a nigth a the theater in front of him because his mother had a emerald necklace. And in the middle of the book, there was an escape from Bedlam, the asylum!

That doesn't say anything about the character so much as the backstory, though. And as a previous thread mentioned, the tragic death of the hero's parents is a pretty standard cliche, especially "senseless" deaths like being victims of mugging or bank robberies or such.

Re: OP here

Thats way too similar to be a coincidence man.

Well, the hero is called a monomaniac by an other character because he spends his nights trying to avenge the murder of his parents.
