A RIDDLE IN BRONZE
Simon Haynes has been writing fiction for over 20 years. This is his 27th published novel. Author's note: A Riddle in Bronze was inspired by the works of Agatha Christie, Jules Verne, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, HG Wells and other greats from centuries past. Like them, I prefer to write 'clean' novels.AN ENIGMA IN SILVER
A gaslamp fantasy novel by Simon Haynes. West Wickham, England, 1871 A quiet country village is rocked by murder. Police have no leads and no clues, apart from the grisly state of the victim's body.* HOME
