Take a look at The Eyre Affair, the first published novel by British  
author Jasper Fforde. It takes place in alternative 1985, where  
literary detective Thursday Next pursues a master criminal through  
the world of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre:


Single, thirty-something, Crimean War veteran and literary detective  
Thursday Next lives in London with her pet dodo, Pickwick. As the  
story begins, Thursday is temporarily promoted to investigate the  
theft of the original manuscript of Charles Dickens's Martin  
Chuzzlewit because she is one of the few people able to identify the  
thief, Acheron Hades. She comes close to capturing him during a  
stakeout, but is badly injured, saved by a copy of Jane Eyre that  
stops Hades' bullet. A mysterious stranger aids her until the  
paramedics arrive, leaving behind only a monogrammed handkerchief and  
jacket. Next recognizes these items as those of Rochester, a  
character from Jane Eyre, because she entered the novel as a child  
and briefly became acquainted with Rochester himself while she was  
there. . .
