Showing Thomas Edward: Sleuth Of The Criminal Mind by Scott Aegeus Bell

Concrete mystery series about the violent crimes with international ramifications that occur in the place known as 'The Gateway City', Edmonton, in the province of Alberta, in Canada.

They are assisted by the grumpy Sergeant Alan Boyd of the Edmonton Police Service, Margaret Schiller of the University of Alberta, the owners of Café Diplomatic (where Edward's Apartment On 97th Street is located), the Friday Night Irregulars and staff of the Sherlock Holmes Pub (a.k.a. Sherlock's), and an assortment of informants in their cases. The deeper the stories go, the darker the mysteries get...
