Will Thomas writes the Barker and Llewelyn series, a long-running historical mystery sequence set in Victorian London. The first book, Some Danger Involved, came out in 2004 and introduced readers to Cyrus Barker, a Scottish-Chinese private enquiry agent, and his new assistant Thomas Llewelyn.
The series has grown steadily over two decades, reaching seventeen books with Season of Death in 2025. Thomas draws on real historical events and settings from the 1880s and 1890s, weaving actual history into his mystery plots. Readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes or the Monk detective stories will feel at home with Barker and Llewelyn.
