Overview
Overview
London's most eccentric detective is taking his act on the road-whether his assistant likes it or not.
When the Crown Jewels of Denmark vanish from a high-security vault, leaving behind nothing but a smudge of blue stage chalk, the frantic curator Douglas Perkins knows there is only one man who can help: Charles E. Radcliff III. A man of pathological optimism and theatrical flair, Radcliff views every crime as a performance and every clue as a cue.
Much to the chagrin of his long-suffering assistant, Reginald Pickering-a man who prefers tea and order to international intrigue-the duo boards the Graf Zeppelin for a whirlwind journey to the heart of New Orleans. Their destination: the chaotic, vibrant, and booze-soaked streets of Mardi Gras.
As they navigate a kaleidoscopic world of jazz musicians, forensic pastry analysis, and parade float decoys, they find themselves hunted by Genevieve Dubois, the "Sparrow." A criminal mastermind with a penchant for the dramatic, Dubois isn't just looking for a payday; she's looking for an audience.
From the humid shadows of the French Quarter to a high-stakes confrontation at a Grand Masquerade Ball, Radcliff and Pickering must unmask the Sparrow before she pulls off her final act. In a city where everyone wears a mask, the truth is the most elusive prize of all.
