The Manual of Detection by Jedediah Berry
The Manual of Detection
Adult Mysteries
BERRY
“The Manual of Detection” is a great mystery for the reader looking for something a little… different. This is a mystery written in a place that is always raining and it is always being investigated by Detectives at The Agency. “The Manual of Detection” is the book given to our lead, Charles Unwin, when he is unexpectedly promoted from Clerk to Detective. Unwin is given little to go off of and must follow the cases he has prepared from the files of his Detective, Travis Sivart. Sivart has myteriously vanished and Unwin is starting to see that Sivart's famously solved cases might not be so....solved. There are the cases—The Oldest Murdered Man, The Man Who Stole November 12th—and the mysterious people surrounding them that Unwin must learn as much as he can about before time runs out and Sivart is never found. Fans of Kafka, Chesterton, Fforde and others will delight in this magical mystery.
