Lord Under London And Otther Cases of Nat Frayne

Lord Under London

When a methane explosion in the London sewers spews up a much-mangled body, Victorian-era Detective Inspector Nat Frayne finds an ancient Hunter watch pointing to the mysterious disappearance of an aristocrat from an age before the tunnels even existed. As he investigates further a string of fresh corpses start to turn up. Forced to descend back into the depths, Frayne must confront a modern terror born of a century-old crime.

And Make Not Dreams Your Master

Did a missionary found dead in Presbyterian House with an opium pipe in his hand really die of an overdose? So say the police.

Ashleigh Booker-Hyde and his impetutous sister Melisande don't agree. So they call in former Detective Inspector Nat Frayne, now a private inquiry agent since his suspension from the Met, to nose around. Frayne's typically two-fisted methods soon land all three in a violent struggle against an opium smuggling ring ready to enforce its ambitions with a bevy of Chinese assassins.

Perfidious Albion

Dismissed from the London police, Nat Frayne finds himself unexpectedly recruited by the Foreign Office as bodyguard for an aging diplomat. The man's final mission: to deliver a vital letter to the head of the Egyptian government.

But an apparently simple enterprise soon grows dodgy as Frayne discovers the involvement of an old and bitter enemy. Soon cloak and dagger vie in a bloody and intricate dance amid the exotic sun-baked streets of Alexandria.

Set amid the steambath politics of the late-19th century middle East, Perfidious Albion will force Nat Frayne to put his life on the line as he confronts a past he has struggled to forget.
