In this thrilling story of crime and corruption, three detectives keep their identities secret, and NYPD's Det. Helene Grey is on a mission to unmask them--no matter who gets killed along the way.
In New York City, three intriguing, smart, and stylish private investigators open Holmes, Marple & Poe Investigations. Who are these detectives with famous names and mysterious, untraceable pasts?
Brendan Holmes--The Brain: Identifies suspects via deduction and logic.
Margaret Marple--The Eyes: Possesses powers of observation too often underestimated.
Auguste Poe--The Muscle: Chases down every lead no matter how dangerous or dark.
The agency's daring methodology and headline-making solves attract the attention of NYPD Detective Helene Grey. Her solo investigation into her three unknowable competitors rivals the best mysteries of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Good read
What a great series, I simply cannot wait to start my next book!!! Characters are very real, and perfectly imperfect.
I really liked this book. Especially since it's not just one mystery but several. And the perfect mystery trio so far is written well. And I just want to find out more.
The story was a quick read, & not quite as sophisticated as most James Patterson books. I realized more than once that it was the perfect set up for a TV series.
I love the witty banter and the play on Holmes, Marple, and Poe. The book catches your interest right from the start and keeps you engaged in the multiple plots. The team of misfit detectives manages to generate a lot of business, and the "game is a foot" throughout the book. Whimsical, satirical, fun! I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next in the series.
