Learn moreLondon, 1883. 125 Gower Street was once a house of justice, truth, and perspicacity. Now madness, murder, and scandal lurk in its empty halls. It is rumored that its owner—Sidney Grice, London’s foremost personal detective—has been driven to the brink of despair. But, as with all good stories, we must begin at the beginning.
When Sidney Grice journeys to Yorkshire to solve a mysterious death, March Middleton, his ward, is left to her own devices in a London swarming with danger and vice. Curiosity, as we know, has a dark edge. So when an intriguing letter leads March to the gates of the palatial Saturn Villa and into the nightmarish world of her long-lost uncle, it could be the beginning of an end for all.
M. R. C. Kasasian was raised in Lancashire, England. He has had careers as varied as factory hand, wine waiter, veterinary assistant, fairground worker, and dentist. He is the author of the Gower Street Detective series and lives with his wife in England.
Reviews
“Exceptional…The Grand Guignol plotline is leavened with laugh-out-loud passages showcasing both Grice’s literalness and disregard for social niceties.”
“This third book of the Gower Street Detective series is so eccentrically characterized, oddly appointed with the creatively bizarre, and rich with frightful detail that one can barely look away from the page…Just about as entertaining as novel-reading gets.”
“The third outing in this Victorian series…stars a clever, twisty plot and entertaining characters. Not just another Sherlock Holmes pastiche, this series has its own allure that will attract fans of Will Thomas, Alex Grecian, and David Morrell.”
“Kasasian surpasses Grice’s first two cases with a bizarre, clever, and constantly surprising whodunit.”
