Sir Roger and Lady Quarterhawse Disappear In Locked Room Mystery
Any one of these would have been enough to catch the eye: "Disappear," "Locked Room," and, the most alluring word of all, "Mystery," and to have them appear all together . . .
England circa 1800ev. Certain deeds have a potential for creation or destruction, for life or death; each action resonates throughout the cosmos - destructive acts can deflect the Arrow of Destiny from its true course.
Thus it is deemed by Higher Orders of Beings to ever be in need of an occasional nudge back on course by the Feathers of Fate.
Mr Podmore Pixum, Mr Bertie Fox and The Teapot Man are The Feathers of Fate.
On their quest to prevent or put right these various transgressions, some earthly, some cosmic, they face danger and annoying disruptions, confront wrongdoers and fight for their lives.
Set in old London Town, East Anglia and Cornwall, these nine tales from within the pages of Mr Pixum's journals take you into a candlelit world of the grotesque and the magickal, the malevolent and the weird, the transcendental and the mysterious, where the Feathers of Fate come face to face with the curious, the fantastic, the extraordinary and the absurd.
William J Booker is the author of the cult novel, Trippers.
