De: H. N. Lloyd

A renowned big-game hunter is found murdered. Days later, one of Britain’s foremost experts on ancient religions meets the same grisly fate. From both crime scenes, priceless religious idols have vanished without trace.

The case falls to Freekly Oldacre — the infamous “Beast of the British Museum” — a brilliant but deformed consulting detective whose reputation is as unsettling as the crimes he investigates.

What begins as a double murder soon draws Freekly into a world of blood-soaked rituals, secret societies, and forbidden belief. His search for the truth leads from a sinister dinner party where every guest hides dark intentions, to an occult underworld beneath Covent Garden, and finally to a remote island where the hunt itself becomes a deadly game.

With his loyal companion Professor Enoch Beard at his side, Freekly must uncover the meaning behind the stolen idols — and decide whether the aid offered by the enigmatic Satanist Supreme is salvation… or a trap.

Darkly gothic, sharply humorous, and packed with mystery and suspense, Freekly Oldacre and the Thief of Tiny Gods is a gripping supernatural whodunit that will keep readers turning pages long into the night.

I cried when it ended… because I wanted more!

“The Most Dangerous Game”, Sherlock Holmes, the Elephant Man, Frankenstein’s monster, Quasimodo and Dr. Watson chased by The Wild Hunt through many other great old resplendent actions and finally smote with the magic wand of intelligent imaginative writing so there you have it.. the most enjoyable, ghastly mystery novel ever reared… (by the next generation of A.I. narration which sounds pretty darn good, I must admit though it pains me to do so. ) An amazing listen well worth checking out.
