Created by Will Thomas
At the close of the nineteenth century, CYRUS BARKER (“undoubtedly England’s premiere private enquiry agent”) and his assistant THOMAS LLEWELYNÂ ply their trade on the fog-shrouded (and pointedly multicultural) Victorian streets of London, in an atmospheric historical series of mysteries by Will Thomas.
Not exactly Sherlock Holmes, perhaps, but Sherlock-adjacent, and the author should get props for pulling back the veil on Victorian England’s social, cultural and class divides in a manner that ought to appeal to fans of Anne Perry, Charles Finch or, to be fair, Arthur Morrison.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
