A Queer Case
My debut novel will be published on 10th June 2025!
A gripping 1920s-set whodunnit, this debut features a queer sleuth who must solve a murder in a mansion on London’s Hampstead Heath without revealing his sexuality, lest he be arrested as a criminal. The first of the Selby Bigge mysteries, it will leave readers eager for the next installment. Perfect for fans of Nicola Upson’s Josephine Tey novels.
Selby Bigge is a bank clerk by day and a denizen of 1920s London’s queer underworld by night, but he yearns for a life that will take him away from his ledgers, loveless trysts and dreary bedsit in which his every move is scrutinised by a nosy landlady. So when he meets Patrick, son of knight of the realm and banking millionaire Sir Lionel Duker, he is delighted to find himself catapulted into a world of dinners at The Ritz and birthday parties at his new friend’s family mansion on Hampstead Heath.
