An unidentified woman is found dead with a set of false teeth mysteriously gripped in her hand. A young tutor finds himself accused of a bizarre art theft. A Russian refugee in hiding is helped by Watson’s wife Mary, and now Mary has disappeared.

In this debut collection, you will discover wry humour, Victorian pathos and of course, hansom cabs in a London fog.
