Oliver Swithin is a children's author who writes about a fiendish ferret of a wandering nature while he whiles away his time at a do nothing job. After finding a friend dead in a fountain at Trafalgar Square he is first arrested and then asked by his uncle who is a Detective Chief Inspector to help solve a series of crimes that at first seemly are just accidents.
It appears that as more bodies are found patterns appear, one if which that the corpses are either marked or have a note set by them related to the signs of the zodiac. There is a race to discover the culprit before there are twelve bodies at hand.
The story is very interesting, fast paced with excellent characters. The best part of it all is the humor which lifted my spirits. I highly recommend this book, the first is a too short series of two. I can't wait to find the next one.
