He wanted to be Sherlock Holmes. London gave him war secrets, murder—and the truth about himself.
The Detective. The game is on. And he cheats.
London, 1960. A sociopathic genius, a trail of wicked Christmas cards, and a case that echoes through the Blitz.
Gabriel Chukwumereije arrives from Ghana with money, looks, and one ambition: to become a detective in the image of his idol, Sherlock Holmes. But unlike Holmes, Gabriel is a liar, a manipulator, and a charming psychopath who will do or say anything to succeed.
When a series of bizarre, morally depraved Christmas cards begin turning up in a quiet London neighbourhood, Gabriel infiltrates the local police station—posing as a cleaner—to get closer to the investigation. But what begins as a trivial case soon twists into a story of long-buried secrets, wartime trauma, and murder.
As racism, suspicion, and his own destructive nature threaten to consume everything around him, even Gabriel may have finally met a mystery he can’t untangle.
A darkly intelligent psychological mystery, The Detective is a chilling tale of deception, identity, and the price of obsession.
