American detective Eden Kane has taken up residence in London, and he's taking care of business. With a hidden agenda of his own, he's cleaning up the town of it's corrupt locals when it seems like no one else will.I've always enjoyed the humour of Tom Conrad's stories, but this one is humourless in its entirety. However, even with no humour, the author's word usage makes for an enjoyable short story. The author portrays the character's in such a manner that you can't help but detest them and what they do. The grittiness and no-nonsense manner of the detective's methods of "cleaning house" make you want to cheer him on to keep going. And, we find out at the end of the story that there is more to come for Eden Kane in future works by this author.As a fan of Tom Conrad's, I'm looking forward to reading more about this detective. In fact, anything from this author I highly recommend.5 glowing stars!!
