The Bog-Man of Bond Street. Available now in The Obverse
Book of Detectives
The Bog-Man of Bond Street is the first in a planned series
of short stories following the adventures of The Albion Club as they battle the
insidious foes of the British Empire.
Set in the high-Victorian era the story is obviously inspired

The Albion Club is a society of gentlemen, sworn to protect
the denizens of the British Empire. When a queer little case involving an Irish
bog-man rears its head, Lancelot Jones is none to keen to investigate. Surely

Falstaff there is more buried in the bog than a simple body…
