Together consulting detective Lord James Bernard Lancaster III and his Italian assistant Giorgio Gallini solve complicated criminal cases, in nowadays London but, strangely enough, also in the past and in the future. Thanks to the drugged chocolates of their arch-rival Clive Exxton. But read for yourself. If you like British humour, philosophical discussions, and the Italian way of living (and writing), you will love these three adventures."These are the written records of my cousin, Capitano di Fregata Giorgio Gallini. For the sake of authenticity, I have neither corrected nor edited them. So please allow for mistakes and a less than perfect use of the beautiful English language."
