After many printings of The Jekyl Island Club, it became obvious that readers wanted more of Sheriff John LeBrun's clever and down-to-earth ratiocinations.
In the first book, he befriends a British businessman who invites him to London. Upon retirement, John accepts.
He finds himself smack in the middle of another club murder mystery. I had great fun exploring the British mania for men's clubs. One such multiple-club maniac was Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a doctor before authoring the Sherlock Holmes stories. I had great fun turning him into LeBrun's Dr. Watson in this locked-room case. The novel explores British history and the foibles of its society at the time, as well as "the Irish question" and the liberalization of women's rights. Once again, LeBrun is indomitable.
