The Pennington Perplexity (Constantine Capers Book 1)

London, 1888. Byron Constantine is a detective suffering from amnesia, his memories fragmenting and slipping away each time he sleeps. Mira Blayse seeks the truth about her parents' deaths, using her artist's eye to notice details others overlook—though her investigations have yielded little so far. When Mira sketches a stranger at a café, she unknowingly captures the likeness of the man who will help her solve her case. Assuming the role of his secretary, Mira's keen observational skills complement Byron's deductive abilities, helping him bridge the gaps in his fractured memory. Together they investigate a case for Scotland Yard: the suspicious death of airship operator Clement Pennington. As the Whitechapel murders grip London, their investigation reveals hidden schemes and a secret society that may connect to Mira's own mystery. As danger intensifies, their partnership deepens, and Byron discovers there may be one memory he cannot afford to lose. This is the first book in a historical mystery series.
