A hardboiled detective for the mean streets of, er, rural England in the 1920s

Meet Rusty Macduff, Detective of Last Resort. Former Baker Street Irregular, current private investigator for hire – specialising in the cases no famous sleuth will take on in the Golden Age of Crime.

If you've got a case nobody will touch with a bargepole, Rusty promises to at least poke at it with a stick.

Curl up now with the page-turning hardboiled (but lighthearted) mysteries that have been described as "Chandler rewritten by Wodehouse" by a reviewer that miraculously was not bribed.
The series so far…
