Alex Reeve writes the Leo Stanhope series, a set of Victorian mysteries featuring a transgender protagonist. Leo Stanhope was assigned female at birth but lives and works as a man in 1880s London. When he becomes entangled in murder investigations, he must solve crimes while protecting his own secret identity in a society where being discovered would destroy him.

Five books published between 2018 and 2022 follow Stanhope through increasingly complex cases. The series has been praised for its historical accuracy and for treating Leo’s identity as integral to the character without reducing him to a single defining trait.
