Synopsis

'Full steam ahead' Daily Mail

April 1867. Amid the usual bustle at King's Cross, a large wooden box is loaded onto a train bound for Lincoln, its watchful escort insistent it remain in sight. But a daring robbery derails those plans, leaving behind a dead man and a vanished treasure.

Detective Inspector Colbeck is called in after a plea from the Dean of Lincoln Cathedral to find the killers and recover a priceless silver model of the cathedral. With the annual Horse Fair flooding the city with visitors, Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming must navigate a web of confusion to track the culprit, although Colbeck grows certain the thief is still close at hand. But time is short, and the Railway Detective faces one of his most complex cases yet.

    And he never will because now he’s dead.
    Jessica recognizes that the killer used the same signature as her parent’s death. It has to be the same killer and once again the police don’t want to investigate.

    Hard-boiled 1920s private detective Buck Baxter is used to solving crimes of passion, but when his latest client turns out to be his own boyfriend, Harry Hart, Buck discovers that nothing is what it seems when it comes to the mysteries of love. 
    All of Wilde City is abuzz with the unveiling of transport tycoon Howard Hart’s latest innovation, a rocket-train that promises to change the future of not only Wilde City, but the entire world. But not everyone has their mind on Hart Industries, including Harry—Howard’s son and heir to the Hart empire—who is so suspicious of his mother’s abnormal behavior that he hires his boyfriend, Buck, to investigate. 
    On the surface, the case looks like another secret love affair. But when Buck finds danger at every turn, he realizes this investigation is much deeper—and the stakes much higher—than he ever suspected. 
    From the smoke-veiled opium barge known as The Peking Empress to the opulence of the Hart family mansion—from Luigi’s garlicky gangster-run Linguine Kitchen to the secret-filled carriages of The Millennium Express—Buck’s latest case is about to teach him that love comes in many forms, all of which are wrapped in secrets, danger and a whole lot of mystery. 
    Buck Baxter and the Mysteries of Love is the third adventure in The Buck Baxter Detective Agency series. It is a campy, noir, 35k-word detective story featuring a tough and troubled leading man, a heartthrob love interest with secrets of his own and a hilarious cast of supporting characters. Enter a world of prohibition, gangsters, speakeasies, jazz clubs, star-crossed romance, brooding heroes and a mystery with a twist.
