“I am lost without my Boswell.” —Sherlock Holmes “Here was a real man as versatile and various as any fictitious detective, just and humane, with wide-ranging interests and flavorful personality; a man of undaunted valor, keen intellect, and scientific curiosity. What a detective he would make! And he came equipped with his Boswell, the only original Boswell, a fascinating character in his own right, with his amatory exploits, his flair for sensation, and his gift of observation.” —Lillian de la Torre Contents: Murder lock’d in—The Bedlam bam—The disappearing servant wench—The blackamoor unchain’d—The lost heir—The resurrection men—Milady Bigamy
