FATAL ENQUIRY: A BAKER AND LLEWELYN NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码: 08525014B72078

English Summary/英文概要: Brimming with wit, atmosphere, and unforgettable characters, FATAL ENQUIRY reintroduces private enquiry agent Cyrus Barker and his assistant, Thomas Llewellyn, and their unforgettable world of Victorian London.

Some years ago, Cyrus Barker matched wits with Sebastian Nightwine, an aristocrat and sociopath, and in exposing his evil, sent Nightwine fleeing to hide from justice somewhere in the far corners of the earth. The last thing Barker ever expected was to encounter Nightwine again—but the British government, believing they need Nightwine’s help, has granted him immunity for his past crimes, and brought him back to London. Nightwine, however, has more on his mind than redemption—and as Barker and Llewellyn set out to uncover and thwart Nightwine’s real scheme, they find themselves in the gravest danger of their lives.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《致命询问》充满了有智慧、大气和令人难忘的角色,它再次介绍了私家侦探塞勒斯巴克和他的助理托马斯卢埃林,还有他们那令人难忘的维多利亚的伦敦世界。
