Quote:
Captain Agot Edmoot Mav, Extraordinary Inquirer for Their Majesties' Bucketeers, must solve the unsolvable mystery of who has killed a famed, but controversial, scholar.
The killing was done in a windowless room which was locked and the murder weapon itself is a mystery.
But Agot Edmoot Mav is nothing if not persistent, and as a loyal member of the Bucketeers, will not rest till the truth is revealed about this murder, most foul ... and most alien.

Think aliens and Poirot combined with The Three Musketeers. I enjoyed this book when I read it years ago.
