The Armchair Detective
The Cosy Mystery Series
Memory
Trench has lost his memory. He barely remembers anything at all. He doesn't even remember he's a reporter for the Stoneham Herald. Somehow he manages to find the old fellow's flat.
A concerned Old Tom advises Trench to, as far as possible, carry on as normal to aid his befuddled state. He even has to hand-draw Trench a map so he can find the Herald offices.
Through his investigations, Trench's memories very slowly return.
And the truth could be that extraordinary, it may be best to forget...
The Mandrake Chronicles
I am Mandrake.
I have vowed to inflict a creeping retribution on my old friend and colleague, Thomas.
I wager you believe that I am in the wrong. I only ask that you carefully study these five transcripts before passing judgement.
Perhaps 'old' Thomas had it coming to him - you decide...
Featuring a foreword by the man himself - Mandrake!
