The Bedlam Detective, by Stephen Gallagher
4.0
Sir Owain Lancaster's account of his expedition to South America has left many questioning the man's sanity. The entire team of explorers and Lancaster's own wife and son were killed. No one is left to back up Lancaster's tale of strange and murderous creatures.
Sebastian Becker's job is to investigate Lancaster's state of mind. But when he arrives in Arnmouth, another crime has just occurred -- two girls have been brutalized and murdered on Lancaster's estate. Could Lancaster be behind the murders?
The premise of this mystery is really unique -- Becker is a former Pinkerton who now works as an investigator for an asylum. The historical setting makes it that much more fantastic.
