New Mystery Novella: Henry James as Amateur Sleuth!
The Unpleasantness at the Bohemian Club
Inspired by Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, here’s a jolly little detective story that takes a cue from The Unplesantness at the Bellona Club and adds some fun twists and turns–especially with the detective role taken by eminent author Henry James. On James’ actual speaking tour of America in 1905-06, he came to the City of San Francisco and was wined and dined by the cream of society, including a dinner and speech at the Bohemian Club, an all-male enclave whose history has been checkered with controversy and secrecy.
When an elderly club member is found dead in the library, Henry and his new-found friend Bruce Porter, a local artist, endeavor to uncover the secrets and deceptions that obscure the time of death, which is crucial to determining who is heir to an enormous fortune. Explore the famous City by the Bay in 1905 as Henry and Bruce wend their way from North Beach to Pacific Heights, from the grand Cliff House to a low-down pool hall on Market Street, and track down the clues they need to solve the mystery.
