Inspector Bowman's Casebook is a series of short stories to fill the gaps between the novels. Each of the two volumes contains four stories set in the months in between the novels, so the whole of 1892 is chronicled. You can download the first story, The Smithfield Murder, for FREE and even find a bonus Bowman adventure, Last Orders, in the short story collection, Victoriana, from Sharpe Books.
'Richard James has chosen a period he clearly has great affection for as a setting. He revels in the details and in sharing what his characters see and feel around them. It’s a time long-gone now, but in the hands of the author, as vibrant and full of life as it must surely once have been.' Desmond Bagley Online
