Limehouse Text, the third book in this series, just continues the excellent mysteries Barker and Llewelyn encounter and solve. The title is a combination of the London district where most of the action unfolds, and a very small, but important, book everyone seems to want. And at least one of them wants it enough to kill.

Llewelyn, as usual, continues to make mistakes which endangers his life and the lives of others. But he is learning. He also encounters two desirable ladies, but, unfortunately, seems to be out of the running in obtaining a closer relationship with either.

And then there is the dog.

This is the third in a great, exciting page turner of a series.
In it Barker & Llewelyn are visited by an Inspector who was investigating the murder of Barker's former assistant. The Inspector finds a pawn ticket in the jacket of the victim which starts an adventure on the murderer's trail...a dangerous journey through the mean streets of London's Chinatown. A must read for lovers of mystery.
