However, when this one came up for review I jumped on it. I have read the first four books and would have kept reading the next ones but I had to wait for the 5th book to come out and when it finally did, I couldn’t work it into my reading schedule. When a second murder happens, it only further complicates his case leaving Lenox wondering if the two murders are related or simply a coincidence. With few clues and no files to aid him in his search, Lenox must solve the murder the old fashion way….pounding the pavement, interviewing witnesses, looking for clues, and making connections. Inspector Jenkins left specific instructions for Inspector Nicholson to find Lenox should anything happen to him and give him all his case file, but the files are now missing. Clearly it’s a high profile case, but Lenox is about to discover how high profile….he is to investigate Inspector Jenkins murder. Suddenly things start looking up….the Yard shows up asking for Lenox’s help and will pay his fee, no expense is to be spared.
While dealing with the decrease in clients and his dejected colleagues, Lenox is left wondering if this was in fact the right choice. One day the great mystery is answered–Inspector Jenkins, Lenox’s long time friend, is quoted in the paper denouncing the agency, Lenox is crushed and business comes to a grinding halt. Well, it appears someone is trying to sabotage Lenox’s new agency. What happened to all the potential referrals from the Yard and his friends within the agency? But while the others are bringing in steady business….Lenox is not. Lenox and his colleagues have let a building and are currently taking new clients, things are looking promising. It’s essentially the first of its kind and with all the assistance he has provided to Scotland Yard over the years, surely the referrals will come.
Charles Lenox has just given up his Parliament seat to pursue his dream….running his own full time detective agency.
