  When Kit Manirat’s body collapses under the effects of poison, it’s clear someone wants him silenced. His brothers, Kam and Zone, know exactly who: Rome—once a mentor and ally—has painted targets on their backs. 
  Fleeing Bangkok for the hills of northern Thailand, they struggle to hold together under the weight of grief, guilt, and secrets. But peace was never an option. Rome is already closer than they think—and he has no intention of letting any of them walk away whole. 
  As loyalties fracture and surveillance closes in, each of them must decide what they’re willing to risk to protect the ones who matter most. Because in this game, pain is the currency—and the only thing worse than death is survival. 
  One way or another, this Ouroboros cycle will end…

  For fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, author Rick Bleiweiss’s quirky new detective and ensemble cast of characters set against the backdrop of small-town England in the 1910s will feel both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new in the first installment of this multi-award-winning series. 
  The year is 1910, and in the small and seemingly sleepy English market town of Haxford, there’s a new police Chief Inspector. At first, the dapper and unflappable Pignon Scorbion strikes something of an odd figure among the locals, who don’t see a need for such an exacting investigator. But it isn’t long before Haxford finds itself very much in need of a detective. 
  Luckily, Scorbion and the local barber are old acquaintances, and the barbershop employs a cast of memorable characters who—together with an aspiring young ace reporter for the local Morning News—are nothing less than enthralled by the enigmatic new police Chief Inspector.  
  Investigating a trio of crimes whose origins span three continents and half a century, Pignon Scorbion and his “tonsorial sleuths” interview a parade of interested parties, but with every apparent clue, new surprises come to light. And just as it seems nothing can derail Scorbion’s cool head and almost unerring nose for deduction, in walks Thelma Smith—dazzling, whip-smart, and newly single. 
  Has Pignon Scorbion finally met his match?

He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature nine times and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962.
