The Mystery of the Crooked Man

For Agatha Dorn, whodunits are a deadly serious affair...

Agatha Dorn, cantankerous archivist and gin aficionada, discovers a lost mystery novel from the Golden Age of detective fiction. For a brief, glorious moment she is famous... until the book is exposed as a hoax, and Agatha's ex-lover is found dead, with a scrap of the manuscript by her side.

Cancelled, ostracised and severely ticked off, Agatha turns detective to uncover the sinister truth. But can she stay sober long enough to catch the killer?
