Roderick Langham is a retired soldier, disgraced police inspector, and reluctant occult detective. He inhabits the world of Sherlock Holmes, investigates cases with John Watson and Sebastian Moran, and is able to perceive the reality concealed by the illusion of everyday appearances. These nine stories follow Langham from his first encounter with the inexplicable in the Himalayan hills to his investigation of the wreck of the Demeter and his growing realisation that the dales, moors, and wolds which surround his Yorkshire refuge are home to an evil far older than the honeycomb of medieval monasteries and Roman ruins suggests. Praise for Rafe McGregor’s The Architect of “Arthur Conan Doyle is alive and well, and writing under the name Rafe McGregor.” – Tess Gerritsen “Rafe McGregor is the architect of murderously good historical fiction.” – Gyles Brandreth “…a fascinating marriage of investigative mayhem with keen attention to historical detail…” – Graham Hurley “There’s some dandy police procedure…and plenty of interesting characters to carry the story along.” – Bill Crider “…an exciting read, giving a very authentic flavour of the period…” – Bernard Knight
