"The greatest fictional sleuth you've probably never heard of."—The Financial Times

“Grainger’s stories do what the best of literature has always done, explore the mysteries and varieties of life and what it means to be a human being… It would be hard to find a better use of reading time… I’m confident that if detective fiction readers ever decide to create their own Mt.
