The Detective and the Fool

Elise has a problem. Her flatmate’s girlfriend has died under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances. What makes matters worse is that detectives aren’t cheap (and even worse than that, her flatmate was the one that did it, but she doesn’t know that yet).

So she’ll have to settle for what she can afford, which means no brilliant deductions, no super sleuth private eyes with the weight of the world on their shoulders and crippling alcohol addictions. She’ll just have to get Ezekiel Knox.

The two of them work together to solve this mystery, which involves a fortune teller who can apparently predict how people will die, a rich mother who can’t decide whether or not she’s dead, and a threatening letter implying murder.
