Synopsis
London, 1883: All is quiet at 125 Gower Street. Sidney Grice is swotting up on the anatomical structure of human hair whilst his ward, March Middleton, sneaks upstairs for her eighth secret cigarette of the day. The household is, perhaps, too quiet.
So, when a beautiful young woman turns up at the door, imploring London's foremost personal detective to solve the mystery of her father's murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee.
Mr Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, but there is no trace of a weapon or intruder. A classic locked-room case. But what piques Grice's interest is the crime's link to one of London's most notorious unsolved murders...

Review
Kasasian deepens the mystery of the relationship between his decidedly non-Holmes and Watson duo in his superior whodunit set in late Victorian London. Kasasian again successfully blends the gruesome and the humorous. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Fast-paced and witty. Although the parallels are unmistakable, Grice and Middleton are refreshingly different from Holmes and Watson. --Shelf Awareness
Think Lemony Snicket meets Neil Gaiman for tea in Dracula's castle. --Booklist
