The Casebook of Atticus Priest

Brilliant deductions. Impossible crimes. Secrets that refuse to stay buried.

The Casebook of Atticus Priest brings together three gripping short mysteries that showcase the razor-sharp intellect, dry wit, and relentless curiosity of Salisbury’s most unconventional private investigator.

Inside this collection, Atticus Priest faces three of his most perplexing cases—each one a puzzle-box of deception, danger, and human frailty.

In The Mystery of the Missing Pages, a festive literary retreat at Lydia Marchant’s snow-dusted manor turns sinister when a priceless manuscript disappears. The house is packed with feuding authors, bruised egos, and rivalries that simmer beneath the tinsel. As Atticus sorts charm from deceit, he soon discovers that the theft is far more personal—and far more calculated—than anyone wants to admit.

In The Case of the Bolted Door, a woman is found dead behind a locked door in her Winchester home, setting off a storm of suspicion within a fractured family. Was it suicide, accident, or something far darker? Every relative has a secret, every alibi has holes, and Atticus must unravel a web of lies before the truth vanishes behind yet another closed door.

In The Haunting of Hallows House, a grand country estate becomes the stage for whispers, shattering glass, and the terrifying legend of Black Nell—a vengeful spirit said to punish intruders. But as Atticus and his assistant Jeremy Hardwicke dig deeper, it becomes clear that the haunting may be a smokescreen for a far more earthly menace. Someone at Hallows House has something to hide… and they’ll stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.

From snowbound manor houses to haunted country estates, The Casebook of Atticus Priest delivers smart puzzles, atmospheric suspense, and mysteries filled with misdirection, wit, and unforgettable characters.

A must-read for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and contemporary British crime fiction.
