Meet Blythman, the Mayfair art gallery owner who is turning detective.
When Connor buys his dream home on the remote Yorkshire coast, an art collector offers to buy it from him for twice its value. Suspicious of the collector's motive, Connor turns to Blythman, who must find out why the collector is so keen to buy the property, and what priceless work of art might be hidden in this crumbling mansion. But the secret of Strickland House is stubbornly hard to find, and time is starting to run out. Trying to keep the Basement Gallery afloat, solve his friend's mystery, and become the successful businessman he aspires to be will take all the stamina and mental energy Blythman has. And he hasn't got much of either.
With the help of an African priest, an eccentric intellectual of indeterminate nationality, and his very patient wife Hannah, Blythman sets out to find the truth.
Fans of Andrea Camilleri and Alexander McCall Smith will enjoy this series of novellas, filled with mystery and humour.
