Приключения Фрикли Олдэйкера

What beast prowled the shadows of Button Wood? What dark evil haunted the shores of Watergate Bay? Who would dare torment the richest man in the world? What sinister mystery compelled a celebrated occultist to summon his greatest rival for help? And what blood-soaked secret lay hidden within the Hateful Hall of Mirrors? The Adventures of Freekly Oldacre gathers twelve extraordinary memoirs from the pen of the famed detective himself, tracing his remarkable career from his first investigation to his final, fateful case. Within these pages lie tales of murder, espionage, conspiracy, folklore, and the occult—cases that confounded police, terrified witnesses, and baffled all but the British Empire’s Premier Private Consulting Detective. Witness the brilliant and enigmatic Freekly Oldacre, father of cognitive cartography, as he applies his unparalleled understanding of human nature to expose killers, unmask frauds, and unravel mysteries hidden in the darkest corners of Victorian society. Rescued from obscurity by H. N. Lloyd, this unforgettable collection of gothic whodunits offers suspense, intrigue, and adventure in equal measure.
