(2013) Inspector Jack Whicher is back, but he has left the Metropolitan Police under a cloud and his days as a detective are behind him. But when he saves a respectable country lady from a violent robbery in a dangerous quarter of London, he learns that the woman, Susan Spencer, is desperately hunting for her vulnerable young niece, Mary. Mary has come up to London in search of a young man, Stephen Gann, who has made her pregnant. Susan commissions Jack Whicher as a "private inquiry agent" to find her niece and Whicher is drawn irresistibly into a disturbing and puzzling murder case, which brings him up against wealthy and powerful figures and throws him into conflict with his former colleagues in the Metropolitan police. Set in the midst of Victorian London, the second instalment of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher is a gripping murder mystery full of twists, featuring the real-life detective who inspired the first great fictional sleuths, including Sherlock Holmes.
