Bucket’s List
by Gary Blackwood

1853. When the body of a prostitute is found in Hyde Park, veteran sleuth Charley Field is disinclined to believe the official verdict of suicide. Convinced the woman was murdered, he determines to track down the mysterious client who visited her the day she died. But there is more to this murder than even Charley could have imagined.

Reviews

“Blackwood turns from juvenile fiction to a new series starring a Victorian sleuth as good-hearted as he is shrewd.”
