A Gentleman's Murder

It's 1924, and despite his half-Chinese heritage, Eric Peterkin is comfortably established as a member of the Veterans' Club. It's a family tradition, but an honor he's not sure he quite deserves. So, when a gentleman's wager ends with one man dead in the vault under the club, Eric is only too ready to tackle the mystery head on.

The quest takes him from a dilapidated former hospital to a six-year-old disappearance, and on to the secrets of the club's governing board of officers. Threatened with expulsion and dogged by the racist shadows of the Great War, Eric presses on nonetheless. But can he snare the killer before his own membership becomes a thing of yesterday?
