The year is 1870 and Adam Carver is at home in his lodgings in London’s Doughty Street when he is interrupted by an unexpected caller. This distraught and enigmatic young woman, Miss Emily Maitland, requests Carver’s help but disappears mysteriously before he can ascertain the details of her predicament. The days and weeks that follow her visit prove to be most eventful, pitching Carver and his assistant Quint into an investigation involving murder, a missing manuscript and a hidden treasure.

In conclusion, despite a promising premise and well drawn characters, this book had very little in the way of substance. I would like to read more adventures featuring Carver and Quint, because I genuinely liked the characters, but I hope that any future stories contain a little more peril, action and adventure.
