Sleuth runs into the supernatural

The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio

Catherine Webb

Published by Atom/Little, Brown

ISBN 1 904233 61 9

With a title that makes promises and tells the reader what to expect, Catherine Webb's first novel in the Horatio Lyle series has much to live up to - or a lot of people will be demanding their money back.

We are in Victorian London, with fog swirling down dark alleys and horse-drawn carriages conveying mysterious strangers to secretive rendezvous.
