The London Casebook of Graves and Hartley - Victorian Tales, #5

In the fog bound shadowed streets of Victorian London, Detective John Graves, former Scotland Yard Chief Inspector, now private investigator — sharp-eyed, methodical, and quietly relentless — pursues the city's most elusive criminals. By his side stands Hartley, his loyal butler and former bare-knuckle boxing champion, whose strength and street-wise instincts perfectly complement Graves's razor-keen mind. Together they confront bomb-makers, smugglers, kidnappers, anarchists, and assassins in a series of brisk, one - chapter mysteries. Each tale reveals a new corner of fogbound London and a new danger lurking beneath the gas-lamps. A collection for readers who enjoy fast-paced, tightly woven detective fiction with a distinctly Victorian edge.
