About the Author
Adrian Vogler has been writing historical detective fiction in the classical tradition since the pandemic. Atmosphere over action; logic and characters that take the reader seriously.
A defining feature of his work is a deliberate engagement with form and publication: serial novels in the tradition of The Strand Magazine, magazine-like companion formats, and active reader involvement.
