Meet Walter Featherston, the acclaimed writer of detective stories, whose true identity remains a mystery to all but a few.

In
The Doctor of Pimlico, Featherston finds himself embroiled in a case involving Dr. Weirmarsh, a practicing surgeon on Vauxhall Bridge Road near Victoria Station, who is also the mastermind behind an international gang of criminals.

The protagonist, Walter Featherston, is a man of mystery. In some circles he’s a cosmopolitan seeking enjoyment in cities all around the world. At home in a thatched cottage in the country, he’s a writer of best-selling mysteries — but keeps it secret. He’s also got friends at Scotland Yard, and occasionally helps them catch criminals!Walter has always avoided romance — but suddenly finds himself madly in love with a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, both Enid and her stepfather seem to have an unsavory relationship with a sinister doctor in Pimlico.Walter has to solve the mystery of that dubious association before he can surrender to his love.The Doctor of Pimlico was first published in 1919. It’s fairly old-fashioned in plot and characterization — but still an enjoyable read if you like vintage mysteries (as I do).
