A Puzzle of Poppies

<p><strong>He expected magic. What he got was murder. </strong></p><p> </p><p>Following a disastrous stint in Her Majesty's army Dr. Wilfred Wilf Jarvis finds himself jaded and directionless. Hoping for a fresh start and perhaps a bit of the storybook magic he'd yearned for as a boy he accepts a diplomatic posting among the Fair Folk of the Seelie Court. When he arrives however he is drawn into a web of political machinations and bitter grievances that prove just as disappointing as his other pursuits - until the body of a British soldier is discovered in Folk territory.</p><p> </p><p>Before he realizes exactly what's happened he's enlisted by Honoria Sherwood a brilliant half-Folk half-human polymath in a worryingly high-stakes murder investigation. With tensions mounting between the Folk and the British Empire the two must track down the killer or lose their only chance to see true justice done.</p>
