The Missing Mermaid

The first ever story to feature Petticoat Katie - peppermint cream aficionado and Fortean investigator - and her substantial friend Sledgehammer Girl, bicycle technician to idle gentlefolk. On behalf of Mr Scipio Jones - the only black man in London to have scaled Mont Blanc - the ladies explore circuses and museums across London as they invesigate a most distressing crime indeed. Will Petticoat Katie discover more than she bargained for in the Cabinet of Curiosities? And will Sledgehammer Girl meet her match in the oily Professor Digbeth? Warning: does not involve religious maniacs, militant Suffragettes or Vegetarians. Much.
