A Note from the Writer
Arthur Pemberton writes Victorian detective mysteries for readers who appreciate a well-turned phrase, a properly constructed alibi, and the conviction that no crime — however elegantly committed — should go unanswered.
His stories inhabit the London of the 1890s: a city of gaslight and fog, of drawing rooms concealing desperate secrets, of gentlemen whose manners are impeccable and whose motives are anything but.
At the centre of it all stands Nigel Harrington — investigator, observer, occasional provocateur — and his indispensable valet Sims, who has never once been impressed.
