Elias Bouchard, better known as Jonah Magnus, is the best private eye in the whole of London, to the point where he actively ignores most of the 'juvenile' calls he gets. One stormy night though, he receives a case from a very familiar voice, informing him of the murder of Jurgen Smirke, patriarch of the Hilltop Hall household. Despite the inhabitants' rather infuriating quirks, Bouchard races to beat Officers Hussain and Tonner, uncover the mystery of his newfound power and why he was led here, and possibly solve Jurgen's death too. Who is the mysterious Michael? What lies at the heart of the mansion's network of tunnels? Why is Martin so pathetically in love? All these and more will be answered in... Magnus, PI
