Some Danger Involved is a charming and original historical mystery that introduces two intriguing heroes: the mysterious and ever-resourceful Cyrus Barker and his hapless but determined sidekick Thomas Llewelyn. The setting is Victorian England, and the two gentlemen are inquiry agents (private detectives, to you and me). Barker, who grew up in the Far East, knows martial arts, employs one of the finest chefs in England (yet is not particular about what he eats), and associates with everyone from the shadiest lowlife to the lords and ladies of high society. Llewelyn is penniless, brokenhearted, and on the verge of suicide when hired to be Barker's assistant. Some Danger Involved takes the reader on a delightful journey through the streets of London and into secret organizations with sinister motives. This novel will not only delight and charm you, but will leave you asking for more. And now, "more"is available! To Kingdom Come, The Limehouse Text, and The Hellfire Conspiracy offer three additional thrilling adventures of Barker and Llewelyn.
