The Gentleman Detective: A Colonel Bainbridge Mystery

Norwich 1898. Colonel Bainbridge has spent more years than he cares to consider as a private detective, but age is creeping up on him and the unexpected death of his business partner and fellow detective, Houston Fairchild, has left him wondering if it is time to hang up his magnifying glass. Then his niece, Victoria Bovington, bursts onto the scene complete with her own ideas about what the future might hold for them. Victoria is wild and a little reckless, and she has this idea she could become a private detective. Despite his best efforts, Bainbridge finds himself stuck with his niece. His personal problems fall into the background when a pugilist dies unexpectedly, and an innocent man is accused of his murder. Distracted by trying to save a friend from the noose, Bainbridge finds himself allowing Victoria to tag along as they investigate the murky world of street fighting and match fixing. Can they determined who really killed the boxer Simon One-Foot just as he was on the brink of a brand new career as a legitimate pugilist or will a man who has done no wrong end up swinging for a crime he could not have committed?
