The Hunt for the Stayne Fortune, Cameron Trost , single work novella thriller

'Who is Oscar Tremont, Investigator of the Strange and Inexplicable?
He is a private investigator who solves seemingly inexplicable puzzles. He is a dichotomy of Victorian charm and progressive spirit. He has a keen intellect, is a master of disguise, is rather fond of whisky, and has a tendency to enter buildings illegally while working on a case. He uncovers secrets, but he also has many of his own. With every new adventure, you'll grow to understand this complex chap a little more.

'The Hunt for the Stayne Fortune introduces the mystery fan to Oscar Tremont, Investigator of the Strange and Inexplicable. Work is slow and Oscar is having a hard time making ends meet, but when he stumbles across a coded message in a second-hand bookshop, he knows he won't rest until he's cracked it. With secret messages and family legends, hidden compartments and masterful disguises, The Hunt for the Stayne Fortune has everything the armchair detective needs.
 

'Can you get to the bottom of the mystery before Oscar Tremont? You'd better hop to it! He's already in his "thinking chair" with a dram of whisky at hand. The hunt is on!' (Publication summary)
