Find out about the man who was once Britain's best-known private detective in my forthcoming history book
Just a short message to say that I’m pleased to announce that my next book is now available to pre-order from Amazon.
Britain’s Greatest Private Detective: The Rise and Fall of Henry Slater tells the story of a man who, in late Victorian and early Edwardian times, was the self-proclaimed greatest private detective in Britain. He was the owner of a hugely successful and well-known private detective agency in London, employing many men and women and working on a large number of cases: his name was synonymous with private detection.
Yet in 1904, he faced the judge at the Old Bailey in an infamous court case, and faced ruin. Where had Henry Slater come from, and where did he disappear in the aftermath of his trial? This book investigates.
Britain’s Greatest Private Detective will be published by Pen & Sword in January 2025, but you can pre-order your copy now.
