The Obsidian Dagger

There seem to be some odd thingsgoing on in the city of London, lately. Take the murders,for instance; quite peculiar. And those missing statues -what's going on there? And shouldn't SaintPaulrs"s have a roof? Odd. . .Horatio Lyle, of course, is no stranger to. . . well,strangeness. In fact, he finds the lure of the unknownquite invigorating. But having just survived the mostfrightening episode in his life, the last thing he wantsis that pompous Lord Lincoln sticking his nose in againand demanding that he take on another case the police aretoo thick to solve. Of course, His Lordship can bepainfully persuasive at times, so it should come as nosurprise that Lyle, along with his youngproteacute;geacute;s Tess (the thief) andThomas (the toff), and his faithful hound Tate (thesmart one), is soon up to his cravat in events of asingularly unscientific nature.Actually, it would all be terribly exciting if only theywerenrs"t trying to kill him.
