Another novella by G.W. Colkitto
The Case of the Missing Heiress (The Sebastian Symes Mysteries)
Quote:
G.W Colkitto’s charming series of Sebastian Symes novellas transports the reader back to the late nineteenth century, a world of gentleman detectives, ingenious thieves, bumbling constables, and cryptic mysteries.
A friend and sometimes rival of two of the best-loved characters in English literature - Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes - the Sebastian Symes stories are a brilliant addition to the canon of British detective fiction.
In 'The Case of the Missing Heiress', a Sunday afternoon of research for Sebastian Symes is shattered by the arrival of his old friend and family lawyer Ebenezer Bulrush.
He has lost an heiress to the Fitzwarton fortune and faces ruin.
The only man he can turn to find the missing girl and clear his firm's names is Sebastian Symes.
But the great detective soon finds himself embroiled in a tangled tale of love, deception and family feuds - and he will need to use all his wits to find a solution to one of the knottiest mysteries of his career.
