More about the book

Henry Pifield Rice is a decidedly unconventional detective, more of a low-level observer than a crime-solver. Employed at Stafford's International Investigation Bureau, his tasks are mundane, such as keeping watch outside restaurants rather than unraveling complex mysteries. Labeled with unflattering nicknames by his colleagues, he navigates a world of ordinary assignments that lack the glamour typically associated with detectives. This story offers a humorous and relatable glimpse into the life of an unremarkable sleuth in a profession filled with expectations.
