WINNER OF FRESH LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE BOOK AWARD APRIL 2017
The Bow Street Society is a fictional group of amateur detectives, operating in Victorian London. Each of its civilian members has been enlisted for their unique skill or exceptional knowledge in a particular field derived from their usual occupation. Members are assigned to cases, by the Society's clerk, Miss Trent, based upon these skills and fields of knowledge.
About the book: In The Case of the Curious Client, the Bow Street Society are hired by Mr Thaddeus Dorsey to locate a missing friend he knows only as 'Palmer' after he fails to keep a late night appointment with him. With their client's own credibility cast into doubt mere minutes after they meet him though, the Society are forced to consider whether they've been sent on a wild goose chase. That is, until events take a dark turn, and the Society have to race against time to not only solve the case, but to save the very life of their client...

The four instalments which follow (in order) are:
The Case of The Lonesome Lushington
The Case of The Spectral Shot
The Case of The Toxic Tonic
The Case of The Maxwell Murder
